Alrighty there...
mid-May I wrote a post about a Summer Reading Challenge. 75 books in Summer 2013.
I'm a little less than a month away from my deadline of August 19th, but I'm 28 books in. AND, most of them have been adult books, so it isn't even including the stack of children's books I have waiting at my apartment for when I get back from vacation! (And definitely doesn't include all the Pinterest book recommendations I've been holding onto to start collecting.) While I'm not as far as I had hoped to be, I'm making a decent dent and I'm back to enjoying an afternoon reading rather than an afternoon watching tv, which was my personal goal.
I'm hoping next time I post I'll even have some reviews of the children's books up for people to enjoy. My goal this school year is for my students to post book reviews, so I want to test out some different Web 2.0 tools for them to use to do so. I got a lot of great ideas with my district's Digital Educator's Summer Academy, as well as my attendance of Technology in Education's (now InnEdCo) Conference in June. I got a lot of great ideas for myself, my teachers, and my students.
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacations and summer reading!
