Tech Tool
One tech tool that I have learned to use within the last year, is called shelfari.com. It is a free site that allows you to catalog books within your profile and then create a library of books you have read and want to read, own and not own. The site provides a search engine which includes millions of books for people of all ages and genres. I find it to be very useful for keeping track of the books that I own personally and a record of the titles and authors of children's books for a wish list to use to create my own personal classroom library. The site is easy to use and perfect for the avid or beginning book collector or anyone who wishes to keep an accurate inventory of the novels they are interested in.

Dr. Hilary Seitz told me about shelfari.com. I am assuming you learned about this tech tool from her. Thank you for the reminder. From what I hear, it's a great tool for literacy. As teachers, we will always be looking for books for read alouds and for children to read.
ReplyDeleteI just looked at the shelfari site. Can you put a shelf on your blog to show off to the rest of the class?
Shelfari.com sounds like a great site to keep in mind for the future. Often you hear of great books to use in the classroom and then forget or lose the information. This sounds like a good way to keep track of books you'd like to use and even to make notes of ones that you tried and are not so good and you'd like to discontinue to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
