Web 2.0- BookRix


Connecting Writer's to reader's. BookRix is an internet portal where anyone can place their own books, short stories, poems, etc.. to be laid out just like a proper book, published on the net, promoted, and sent out to friends, family, and even classmates. I find this particular tool an asset. giing through the National Board Process I was opened to much information on how to be a master teacher. Collaborative work amongst peers and envolvement with parents as well as the community seem to be rank in the highest abilities. What a great way to get our students to publish their work and share it with their families. Parents can virtually see what their child has been working on and be involved with the success of the final product.

You can check this wonderful collaborative tool at: www.bookrix.com

  1. This sounds like a pretty good tool to have. I'm sure the parents would love to be able to get involved more in their child's school work. You could even do like an online essay or poem writing contest. It would be visible to the public and a good way to maybe get in the local school paper!!! :-)
