milobo wants Jul 01, 2008 12:10AM to know if anyone is interested in starting a booktalk on Plurk this summer?
milobo says Jul 01, 2008 12:12AM I'm not sure, I have some ideas, but would love to hear from others - what's the one book you'd want to share and discuss?
milobo says Jul 01, 2008 12:13AM I just got "Engaging Tweens and Teens" and am reading now. Just ordered "Brain Rules" What others would be good?

blakej shares Jul 01, 2008 12:24AM This link has additional books- oh, my wife suggested it, she is a media specialist
milobo says Jul 01, 2008 12:34AM we should probably set up some guidelines too - maybe once book is chosen, we each lead a discussion plurk on a chapter?
milobo says Jul 01, 2008 12:34AM Or we each come up with a discussion question to lead based on book?
lizbdavis says Jul 01, 2008 02:15AM I am reading Whole New Mind right now. I should have ages ago. Finally getting to it.
lizbdavis asks Jul 01, 2008 02:16AM how will we keep up with the discussion, RSS? It there another way? So hard to keep up with past plurks if u didn't start the conversation
KarinB says Jul 01, 2008 02:18AM RSS works very well, can click the 'plurk page' link and all messages in that thread can be sent to RSS
milobo says Jul 01, 2008 02:22AM Any of these books sound great to me! What about starting a diigo group to add links back to the conversation plus related links?
n2teaching says Jul 01, 2008 02:25AM my teen rdg book & says it is great: "How To Win Friends & Influence People for Teen Girls".
milobo says Jul 01, 2008 02:28AM you know n2teaching that book sounds like it might be good for plurk karma!
n2teaching says Jul 01, 2008 02:47AM Yes, bought it for her several yrs ago; don't know why she decided to read it; talks about it tho'
n2teaching says Jul 01, 2008 02:51AM I was impressed because she changed her online profiles; I thought were OK. she says thinking changes
nononi will Jul 01, 2008 08:59PM follow thread to see when we can vote and gladly join the booktalk group
milobo says Jul 01, 2008 09:01PM I think that by tonight, we should have a good list of books and can decide which one, don't you guys?
milobo says Jul 01, 2008 09:02PM I see two books that people seem to be leaning toward right now - Brain Rules and A Whole New Mind
wsigele says Jul 01, 2008 09:17PM it would be a good idea once book is picked to make a list of who is in this so we can all make the same clique list.
