A community for teacher-librarians and other educators

Anyone set up a social network for kids to share summer reading?

I hear that Shelfari, Library Thing and GoodReads are good platforms but does anyone know if these can be made "safe" for students?
Thanks and you guys all rock!

Kathleen,

Look at KidBlog and Edmoto

KidBlog
http://kidblog.org/home.php
You can set the KidBlog preferences to control access and preview and approve all posts. Or you can allow students to engage in a less restrictive environment.

email me and I'll send you the link to our 5th grade book trailers using KidBlog

Edmodo
http://www.edmodo.com/
I don't know if this tool allows you to approve all posts before they go live.

Karla
