Book shelf


 Bookslikes.com I like booklikes but it was not the easiest to use. It has all the books that anyone would every read and share with anyone.
 
 What I like about shelfari is the timeline, you can rate the books you read! I also like that it has the book covers.  Shelfari was easy to use.

Goodreads has some good points, like favorite books and your friends that have a goodread account also.  Like the bookcovers, was not easy to use!
LibraryThing has great timeline and shows the bookcovers just like all the rest! Good things about this site it shows how many books in collection, how many authors and the series, this helps a librarians with titles of the books.

Biblionasium is easy to use and kid friendly!  The reports on the students login in the the reading shelfs.  I like it shows the bookcovers of all the books.  Suggested reading is great for the students to look at different kinds of books that they might like to read.  Letters to parents will help them understand how the books shelf works.  Biblionasium is the bookshelf I will suggest to my teachers and students every time! It's easy and kid friendly.

Podcasting

The three accounts I looked at for my podcast were Soundcloud, Audiboom and Podpmatic, they were all very easy to use and to make a podcast. I created free and basic accounts for each one of them. I decided to make my podcasting for this assignment with SoundCloud because to me it was more kid-friendly then the other two.  I think the children would love to make a book review using this program! I will recommend SoundCloud to all my teachers! I had a problem downloading Lame, so I would not recommend this podcasting website.  My students used podcasting to interview each other. I plan on using SoundCloud when my students do booktalk.
