Week 14--Library Thing--Shelfari

When I created my blog, I was looking for ways to make it look neat. I took a look at some of the blogs created by other students in the class. If I saw something I liked, I added it to my blog. One of the features I really liked with the bookshelf on Shelfari. I didn't realize at the time that this would be related to a future assignment for 23 Things Kansas.

I signed up for Shelfari and added my bookshelf to my blog. Since then, I have gone in and edited it to add more books and to rate the books. I haven't done a lot with the other features, but I really like the fact that if you click on the cover of one of the books on the shelf it takes you to a site where there are reviews of the books.

Learning New Things

I keep learning new things about this blog. I figured out how to add a Shelfari Bookshelf on my blog, so now I can showcase some of my favorite titles. I also discovered that I haven't explored all the features of Facebook. There are so many applications on there and I've used it mainly to keep in touch with family and friends. The possibilities are endless!

LaCygne Elementary is having a really neat activity on Friday to celebrate Kansas Day. Several people from the community are coming in to share with the students on various topics relating to Kansas history or Kansas products. We did this last year and the kids loved it!
