Tech use this past week...

This past week, I implemented the use of the site www.goodreads.com with two of my classes. I created a private group to which my two classes are now members. They are tracking their independent reading selections and answering posted discussion questions. I run and control the group as the moderator. So far, I'm very happy and excited with the results. I've managed to create an intimate, academic setting for my students to discussion literature on the web. Initially, I would have thought intimate and internet was an oxymoron. I'll let you know how it goes...
