This is a social networking site built around books. You put a book on your "shelf" and you can write reviews, tag and organize your collection, and share your favorites with friends. The site allows you to create groups as well. I am looking into replacing our book blog with shelfari accounts. I would then create a private group in which our students could talk about the books they are reading and share their lists with one another. One drawback of the blog was that not all students had time to interact on it. I think this might be faster and make it easier for everyone to share.
We have all seen the posters that are the product of students' research products. Glogster is the on-line equivalent. The great thing about Glogster is that kids can embed video, audio, and links to websites into their posters. This will be a great tool to create excitement about a research project and for students to learn tech skills in context.
Another resource to explore when I have more time.
