BOOK RIOT | News, reviews and commentary on books and reading, except, you know, fun
Book Riot is dedicated to the idea that writing about books and reading should be just as diverse as books and readers are. So sometimes we are serious and sometimes silly. Some of our writers are pros. Many of them aren’t. We like a good list just as much as we like a good review. We think you can like both J.K. Rowling and J.M Coetzee and that there are smart, funny, and informative things to say about both and that you shouldn’t have to choose.

Book Tasting in the Library « The Unquiet Librarian
“We placed the books on carts that were ready for students when they arrived in the library today. I explained to the students that we were going to use today’s class period and tomorrow’s to “taste” and immerse ourselves in the books by selecting at least five books over the two day period and to take time to read 10-15 minutes for each book. “

A Senior Shares Why She Is Falling in Love with Scoop.it « The Unquiet Librarian
“Today I introduced Scoop.it to Ms. Lester’s Advanced Grammar and Composition students who are working on senior research projects. Several of our students were immediately smitten with the ease of use and the appealing visual layout; some students will also use the commenting tool for keeping their own notes on the sources they’ll be adding. Other students are already making plans to connect their social networking accounts, like Facebook and Twitter, to their Scoop.it dashboards; others are interested in cross-posting sources to their blogs on WordPress and Tumblr. I’m excited to see how our seniors utilize Scoop.it in the upcoming months and how they use it to work within the ecology of learners in our building as well as a global community.”
