Following III
The most recent post on Lee Lefever's blog was on October 2nd and it was a book review on the book Friends with Benefits: A Social Media Marketing Handbook. Honestly the only correlation between his post and education that I could think of, is 1. Don't judge a book by it's cover and 2. Book reviews are a timeless assignment for getting children to read and be able to articulate on the contents of what they read. The first correlation is significant, in the fact that the phrase "friends with benefits', caused me to think of those couples/friends who are, shall we say 'loose' when it comes to personal boundaries. Clearly, this is not what the book is about and thus, it is important for me, as a future educator, to research the titles that I may present to my class, rather than just going on the cover.

You make an interesting point. Whether it is a book or a website even it is important to research and know the contents so that our students don't get any "surprises" that can lead to problems for us as an educator and the school as a public entity. It is also a good point, because often a title that sounds promising fails to really deliver the information you had hoped for.
