I currently use (and love) www.shelfari.com as a tool to keep all my books (previous, currently reading, and plan to read) organized. I love this visual tool. It is easy to add books, sort them into categories, tag them, and rate then when I have finished reading them. I am an avid reader it is hard to always remember which books I have read or want to read. When friends give me a name of a “must read” book, I open my Shelfari account and add to the book to my “plan to read” bookcase. I would recommend this tool for anyone who does a great deal of reading both professionally and personally. This would be a great tool to have your students use to keep track of the books they are reading this year. You could also have them write comments about the book after it has been read. Students could also create an online book club with friends from school. Good opportunities for classroom use with this tool.
For the new exploration today, I set up an account on “Remember the Milk”. This tool allows me to create a list of the tasks for the week (or longer), share the list with colleagues and have reminders sent to me. I am a list maker, so I will try this and see how this new tool works to add to my productivity. Always looking for ways to organize myself and work smarter!
