Tech Task #2 Part 2

Books books and more books! I love books, I love reading them for classes, for pleasure and I am so excited to have my own classroom library one day! The Google component or tool that I am going to be exploring is Google books.  I knew that you could look for books through the search engine.  Mostly I used it for finding a author name or for different things like that when I need it for a bibliography.  BUT there are so many other things that you can do with it that I never knew about.  For one things there are FREE e-books. Yahoo! I don't know if any of them are good but I am sure that there are a couple that are okay.  I think that I would use this tool to books for books that I may want to read or for getting resources for papers or if I need for information for another reasons. 

Another feature that I would love to use in my classroom is the library aspect of Google books.  I don't know how to work it all yet but I think it would be so cool to build up a library and have the students be able to see the different books that they are able to check out or read when they are in the classroom.  I think that it could also be a way of keeping track of the books that I have in the classroom and even potentially which ones the students have out.  I have seen different sites where the students can check out different books and you can see which students have which books out.  I would like to use Google books because it would be convenient and because I would be able to keep track of everything on one account. 

Yay for Google!
