Thing 19

After becoming a member of the Ning network, this site is full of tools and advice for any educator. I enjoyed looking over several of the discussions and reading others views on certain subjects. I really enjoyed the "unwritten rules every teacher should know". Social networking is only going to become more and more popular as technology is becoming a part of our daily lives. Two of my favorites was "Goodread" and "What's on my bookshelf". Reading needs to continue being encouraged in and outside of the classroom and I thought these were two good networks to help find what interests you and what others enjoyed. I will definitely be using teacherpop in the future as well as any of the book networks. I always enjoyed reading when it was something I wanted to read or something I thought I would like, but if I didn't want to read it, it was always hard for me to make it through the book. Therefore, I believe any of the book networking sites would be a great tool to encourage reading.
