GoodReads, RSS, Delicious

This week we learned about a book sharing website called GoodReads. My profile is here.

We also learned about RSS. Check out my news feed in the column to the right.

Last we made an account with Delicious where we added links useful to our future classrooms. Here are my bookmarks for 4th grade social studies.

These will all be extremely helpful when I am teaching. Because of my children's literature class I wanted a place to put a list of all the books that I have read or that were recommended in the course. GoodReads is a perfect place for this! Not only can I see what I liked in the past and what was in the class, but I can also see what others enjoyed too.
Delicious is also very nice because it will keep track of all the helpful websites I run into. My Bookmarks on my computer is a mess, but this site will keep them all nicely in order. Even better, I can find them on whatever computer I am on as long as I am connected to the internet, not just my own.
