"How do I create the perfect blog post?" That question by a young student stopped me in my tracks. After all, is there such a thing? I had to dig deep on this question and turned to the qualities of my favorite bloggers to find some common themes. They seem to fit for me - leave a comment and let me know how they land on you!

Create a vritual shelf ot show off your books. Connect with your friends. Discover exciting new titles. Voice your opinion. See what your friends are reading, what others with similar tastes have enjoyed, and even get book recommendations.

This is a great site that I have used for many years. I have used it with elementary (5th grade) students several years However, teachers should know that you need to monitor and teach use of this site. It is essentially a social networking site and the kids will learn to use it as such very quickly. There are adult themed books as well as independent groups where inappropriate discussions take place. I have emailed Shelfari and asked if they plan to make an education version or limited account option for use with students. That being said I think it's a great platform for teaching those essential netiquette skills!

Such a brilliant tool for me as teacher! No more telephone bookings for PTS meetings!

This is a very useful tool for setting meetings with a group of busy co-workers, or even family. Just set the basic dates and times and email it to the others. They indicate their preferences or availability. You get access to the combined most frequent times. Great way to find When Is Good!

Très utilisé aux EU. Muséum box permet de construire un argumentaire ou une description d'un évènement, d'une personne, d'un sujet, en plaçant des informations dans des boîtes virtuelles. Ce n'est pas clair, hein, allez jetez un coup d'œil. Particulièrement adapté en histoire, biologie.
