Thing 39 Digital Scrapbooks

This Thing is immensely interesting to me because of my teaching background and I have not finished looking through all the possibilities yet. I found numerous sites from which to obtain free images....something I could have used in recent years when I was teaching. I signed up as a user for Scrapbooks That Teach but it appears that this site is very new and is not established just yet.

BookLamp is another site that I checked into. It is also very new and not very complete yet. In the future, I hope it will be a source of ideas for books to read and possibly contacts with people who read the same type of books that I do. As a parent and teacher who has always cautioned young people about connecting with people on the internet they do not know personnally, I am a bit nervous about networking through the web but if I find the right group I will try it.

I continue to add books to my LibraryThing account as I catalog my own collection. It appears that I have many more books than I thought! The site keeps a running total and it will be interesting to see how many books I actually own. Adding tags is going to be a benefit to locating my sources when I am working on a project.
