The school year is flying by and I've been silent on my blog. It certainly doesn't mean I don't have anything to say, but that I've been too busy to say it!
In October all of our 3rd-5th grader "attended" J.K. Rowling's webcast. They all ate lunch in the library and listened to Ms. Rowling discuss writing and Harry. During the webcast she mentioned her website/game Pottermore. Out of this came a tremendous interest in creating a Pottermore Club. So finally today, (the calendar and the weather has been conspiring against us!) we'll have our first meeting. We'll meet during lunch. It seems like a wonderful opportunity to talk about books and practice digital citizenship at the same time.
Here's J.K. Rowling discussing why she created Pottermore and what she's hoping to accomplish with the site.
