A couple years ago when I was teaching 5th grade at Norton Creek – one of my fab colleagues really wanted to figure out how to have a Goodreads-type website for her classroom. We toyed with using Edmodo but it didn’t have the flair that Goodreads had.
And now….our problem is solved! Cue lights – drum roll please……if you’re a K-8 teacher and want to get kids excited about reading and talking about books, get yourself over to Biblionasium!
I’ve put together a Google Folder that includes written directions for setting up an account, templates for organizing student username and passwords and videos that highlight the basic features to help you get started. As always, let me know how I can support you in your classroom with using this tool!

I am the Instructional Technology Coordinator for the Saint Charles School District. Education is changing at a rapid pace - the profiles of our students are different from those 20 years ago; the opportunities are grander; the implications for the future are huge. Here on my blog you can find my thoughts about our classrooms and meeting the needs of our students.
