Real Time Reading Collaboration

I just wanted to share this tool again since it is now working with another incredible Web 2.0 tool. If you go to the Project Gutenberg, you can find thousands of online texts for download. One of the best comprehensive databases of online text that I have ever seen. Once you download the desired books or text, you can open and create an account at BookGlutton and read them online with your friends. As you read you can chat and annotate together. Discuss parts of the text, read at your own pace, summarize together. Together, these two tools are so powerful. They not only allow students the opportunity to connect and share with others reading similar content, but collect and return to their content and annotations at any time. Think about the study groups that could be created with these tools. At BookGlutton you can also write and publish your own works. Imagine editing works together at any time. The learning and creating will go on after school hours. Truly amazing learning at its highest level.

One of the better book sites out there! Visit Book Glutton and register to read books online with others. Chat and annotate together. Talk about a better experience in reading, this is truly one of the best aps that I have seen in a long time! A must see if you are trying to read difficult texts like Shakespeare, thrillers like Steven King and many more. This site can only go up. Oh and did I mention, you can embed the books into a web site or wiki.

PA Educators Professional Learning Network

If you are a PA educator, I invite you to join the new PA Educator Ning Network at http://paeducators.ning.com . Currently there are 191 members, which is great, but it would be more beneficial if we could get hundreds or thousands of teachers to join this network. We can build capacity through our connections and collaborations across the state. Imagine what we can do together without anyone directing us. The network is for all of us! We can connect, share and build! The potential is limitless! Join if you are interested in building a professional learning network where you can find and even add events from around the state. If you are reading this from another state or country, you too can create a network at ning for your educators. If you are looking for a network of educators to make connections I would suggest Classroom 2.0. Over 20,000 members world-wide active members post and share all of the time. Network creator Steve Hargadon, is one of the best education advocates around!!
