Thing 6: Going Deeper
I just found some great Google Posters that can be put out for students to help them become better Google searchers...I especially liked the ones entitled "Better Searches, Better Results". I have saved them in a Poster File so I can print and use with students in the Chaska Library Media Center.

Provides a place where you can create your own bookshelf and invite users to share informtion on what you are reading. Looks pretty new yet and as I dug deeper, I didn't see very many authors yet but I think this is just in the process of becoming. Will have to keep an eye out and revisit as I continue my personal reading. Would be great for a bookclub to share. I think that at our Next CHS Staff Bookclub, I will share with my group. It would be fun to discuss a book as questions come up during the reading time. It certainly would stimulate the discussion when we meet to talk about the book selection.
It was interesting to look at some of the WIKI's that are already set up for classroom use in the PBWikis section of this thing under Grades 9 through 12.
