Goodreads

Thanks for the push back onto Goodreads! I'm looking forward to receiving updates from Marcia, of course, but also from a couple other folks at school and at least one other friend from The Other Side of the Bridge. (Do they even have libraries there?) I'm not sure how I might use Goodreads in the classroom, except to show students the ways in which adults track and share our reading lives. If others have suggestions for how to use Goodreads with students, I'd be interested in hearing!

    I am so glad you are back on Goodreads, Heather! Your book reviews are so thoughtful and they really make me look at a story in a deeper way.
    If we taught high school I think we would be all over Goodreads with our students. But the requirement of an email is prohibitive to elementary kids. I wish that some of the features of Destiny Quest-like reviews and recommendations could be as motivating as Goodreads--but so far they aren't. Definitely something to work on!
