Thing 20: Books 2.0

FIRST, LET ME SAY...I WANT A KINDLE 2! Yes, I looked up the price...it is about $360.00 Not bad, I've wanted things that have cost a lot more!!!

Books on Your Phone--I love Twitterlit and http://www.kidderlit.com/, too!

Readers' Advisory--I like What Should I Read Next?

Online Book Communities--I really like the Book Glutton and the Unbound Reader--the video is what enticed me!

Book Group Resources--I love the concept of help in creating a book club with Booksprouts. I am also very drawn to Wired for Books because of the MP3 download availability.

Audio Books--Librivox is similar to Wired for Books

Book Reviews--The One Minute Critic is a great idea for lesson plans that are effective, but not time consuming. I will also go into greater detail with FaceBook in the list of book related apps. FaceBook is a wonder among wonders!

Book Swamp--something to keep in mind in this age of budget cuts!!

Children's Books--I will definitely keep this on a handy list. I think I might even post these sites on my website as suggestions for parents looking for books over the summer: Lookybook, Just One More Book, Sillybooks, and International Children's Digital Library.

Thing 20 is an exceptional piece that I will use in many ways for a long time!!
