We have started a new online book club website where people can choose books, invite friends, and read and discuss books together. We are hoping for it to become an educational tool, and an online social space. It's all pretty new and we are interested in having some people join, give it a try, and give us feedback on how they like it. Also, as we noticed that you have a blog, we are looking to see if anyone would like to review the site for us (good or bad) so we can get constructive feedback. You can get there at: http://www.booksprouts.com My name is Jason, and if you have any questions or comments (good or bad) feel free to contact me Regards, Jason Pfeifer Community Manager Booksprouts.com jason@booksprouts.com Greetings,

Yet, I wonder how often we teachers consider such principles as we are preparing our lesson plans for the day? Google really “gets” it, don’t they?
