Thing 4

This is where my mind needs to stretch. How would I use a blog with students? Some possibilities include: book reviews, an online book club, surveys, and maybe a review/survey of best research sources.

I think that the students would love to post book reviews to a blog. I think I might have to proofread the review first, though. To enhance the book reviews, it would be great to have an online book club. People are so busy that setting a certain meeting time is really hard, but they would probably have time to check in to a book club blog at their own convenience. I would really like to survey the classes on several different topics. For instance, a survey on the ease of using databases, the user friendliness of the library website, and even some schoolwide topics.
These three uses would be the most meaningful to me and that would encourage me to actually put them into practice.

I agree with you about students loving to post book reviews. Can you imagine a student being excited about a book review?
