Since I'm already a Facebook member, I decided to look at WorldCat and Librarything for this exercise. Both are centered on sharing books. I had looked at Librarything a couple of years ago but found it a little too busy to be of interest for me. I still get regular updates from the site, but for informal book-sharing I much prefer Shalfari. I like the look/layout and find it more focused. Librarything does offer some curriculum content for school librarians but it is more elementary than secondary in that respect. I like WorldCat better esp. since some of the MASLIC schools have shared their collections on the site. it's handy for cataloging and finding a title.
I created a group on Ning fpr the Writers Collective. I don't know if the boys will be interested in it but it's an idea for other clubs to use.
I got to level 7 on the travel IQ. I've tried it before...but I don't know my Serbias and African countries!

I like Shelfari too, because I can see what YOU are reading. Many of my favorite books have been ones you recommended. It also helps me remember what I've already read!
