[LM_NET] Hit: social reading recommendation web 2.0 for elementary students

[Lisa Branon <branon5@YAHOO.COM>]

Responses below for social reading sites for elementary students: 

        * Our site, BigUniverse.com would be the perfect solution as we have a 
wonderful (and 100% safe) sharing community where K-6 students can "follow" 
other students, recommend books, and add books to their virtual bookshelves. The 
site has a large library of over 1,000 leveled fiction and nonfiction ebooks, as 
well as a wonderful book creation tool.
        *   I have a website called abookandahug.com that teachers, students, 
parents 
and librarians use to find the right book for the right kid.  I have been 
talking with my web developers about creating an option on the site where 
visitors can make their own book lists, keep their favorites and perhaps even 
leave comments on what books they enjoyed or did not enjoy.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on using abookandahug.com with your students.  
Any suggestions or insights you can share with me about how would you use the 
site, will help me work out a plan with my web folks
        * you might develop a PBWorks wiki for students....they could post comments 
about favroite books & you could develop book trailers?
