OK ... you're right

This ISN'T exactly the BEST place for this blog post, but I gotta put it somewhere. It's forming part of a report I volunteered to do for the Literacy Committee at my school.

Ya see, for those of you who don't know, my regular school, isn't. We teach a lot of different populations, a lot of transient students. And so ... I was tasked with looking at Virtual Book Clubs.

In any case, I went to the Burlington Public Library website and found that they already run VBCs. Innt that awesome?

I wondered about the limitation of getting books from the BPL onto my iPad or iPhone. It used to be a real drag. So, as a part of my search, I found the Oakville PL had explained how to solve that issue with Overdrive. There's an Overdrive App for it, too.

I heard about this from a link that was emailed to me, as a direct result of taking the Spec Ed II course last year.

(Yes, I know that the article talks about the Kindle, but there's an App for that, too.)

Finally, I did what any red blooded Canadian young person should do ... I looked for a Virtual Book Club on Facebook and got like ten results. That'll do for today...
