This week we are supposed to explore any site from the Web 2.0 awards list. A couple of my favorite are Library Thing http://www.librarything.com/ and Writeboard http://www.writeboard.com/. On the Library Thing site, you can enter information about the books you are reading. You can get ideas for books that you may want to read. The best thing...you can start an online discussion about the books you have read (an online book club). I thought the Write Board site was great and could be really useful for the teachers. I believe that it could help them to use the modern technology of today in the classroom. You are able to have group discussions about assingments. You never know, the students might think this is a really cool way to participate (if you can't get them to participate in class the old fashioned way, make it fun/interesting for them).
I found myself not wanting to quit exploring for this assignment. There are so many cool sight to see. I hope that you all had as much fun as I did.
