Week 3, Thing 7

I've been spending time on the infodoodads site and explored several different places. Probably have spent too much time here, but it is too much fun. I tried working with a site called Book Sprouts but the site seems to be having problems since everything I have tried to set up on the site is not working. It is a site for creating and managing book clubs which includes discussion, voting on books and making nominations for the next book to read. I think this will make a great tool on our web page because we never have enough time during our book club meetings for the kids to talk about everything they want to talk about, also, I think it will give kids who never say anything but that I know are reading the books an opportunity to speak their minds. I'm going to keep working on it.

I also spent some time on a site called Zoomi which is basically on online bookstore where you can actually browse the shelves!! It is connected to Amazon so when you want to make a purchase, you can add it to your cart in Zoomi and then when you are ready to check out, it will take you to Amazon to place your order. It is a "mash up" of the first order and would make another great link from the library's web page maybe in the same section with the Book Club.
