I started to read about educational trends, immigration and such. It wasn&#8217;t really hitting on my topic, <em>Destiny Quest.\u00a0<\/em>So, I went into the UBC Library to search different databases and journals. After several tries, I hadn&#8217;t found much beyond how to\u00a0<em>reach my destiny and\u00a0<\/em><em>begin\u00a0<\/em><em>the quest for meaning\u00a0<\/em>in my life. Ha.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I looked at my notes that I had jotted down from the &#8220;Google Hangout&#8221; last Tuesday, mainly suggestions from Aaron on different resources I could search out for my Destiny Quest topic. I decided to go ahead and started exploring the following sites:<\/p>\n<p>Destiny Quest Community Space: <em>https:\/\/www.follettcommunity.com\/<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I logged into my school site and registered myself in the Follett Community site. \u00a0I really had no idea what I was looking for, but clicked on the first link, &#8220;Bookmark Challenge.&#8221; I was thinking, &#8220;Ok, so we are supposed to research sites and bookmark them and then win something?&#8221; No, the challenge is to actually make bookmarks (yes, paper and mactac ones). I thought, &#8220;Hey, I am already doing that in my library, students come in in their spare time and make bookmarks. Wow, I can do this!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pinterest:\u00a0<em>www.pinterest.com\/<\/em><\/p>\n<p>My sister forced me to sign up a year ago (same way I got a Facebook account) but I have never used it. When I tried a couple of times, I was confused. So this time, I googled &#8220;how to use Pinterest&#8221; and took the time to read the first couple of paragraphs. I went back into my account and entered the words\u00a0<em>Follett Destiny Quest.\u00a0<\/em>I was blown away by how many different resources that I found, from how to add a book trailer to teaching students to write reviews to making the most of your library&#8217;s ebook collection. This is definitely a site I will use again!<\/p>\n<p>Twitter: http:\/\/twitter.com\/<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it is true, I hadn&#8217;t been on twitter before. So, I went into the account that I created for Libe 477 and entered the same search words and ended up following my first account, called <em>Classroom 2.0.\u00a0<\/em>So, one more new resource for me! Libe 477 has forced me to add gmail, twitter, a blog, digg reader and pinterest! For twitter, Aaron&#8217;s suggestion is to just dive in, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m doing!<\/p>\n<p>Blogs:\u00a0https:\/\/indiancreeklibrary.wordpress.com\/tag\/destiny-quest\/<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t followed a blog before and wasn&#8217;t sure how to do it. Aaron suggested googling <em>blog<\/em> <em>wordpress destiny quest<\/em>. So I tried that and instantly found a blog to follow from an elementary librarian who posts lots of items on integrating Destiny Quest in her library. I added her for email updates but then I saw that I could also add her on twitter, so I did that also.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, for this Reading Review post, I began with the Suggested Readings List and Bibliography.
