Q1. Let your imagination go! What other types of connections about learning and books could be made here? What questions might you like to post to others? #BookCampPD

Q1: I can visualize different pages being dedicated to different book discussions. We could continue the subject in depth as long as we needed and add activities/lesson ideas to it. #BookCampPD
A1 I like it when books are recommended based on specific needs, like ‘here’s a book to help you if you want Ss to be more critical thinkers.’ I am a problem-solution reader #bookcamppd
A1 love hearing what types of books are good resources for specific topics, how to help with student engagement, for example, hearing other perspectives is great #bookcamppd
Tab 'Twitter Happenings' has 5 drop down menus below it. 'Weekly Chat Topics' was added for clarification of each week's topic. 'Calendar of Events' lists literacy events followers might be interested in. 'Weekly Questions' for those wishing to see them before a chat. #BookCampPD

A2: In my school and district, teachers and admins are always looking for fresh, new professional books around which they can center a book study. The Books page looks like a nice place to start. #bookcamppd
My hope was that they could click on the actual books anywhere - home, school, in another teacher's classroom and grab the resources they needed quickly in order to get the help they needed. #BookCampPD
A2: The list is perfect for me to get ideas about what to read next. I would also like to add to the list when I find an amazing book that gets me revved up about education so others can read it too. #BookCampPD
There is a 'Search' feature on the website you might want to use. The widgets are located by clicking on the three dots and closed by clicking on the 'X.' #BookCampPD

Greetings #BookCampPD from Australia! As well as learning about Aztecs with a senior History class, we've been thinking about Paulo Freire's 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed' - great on empowerment and 'banking' v 'problem-based' learning.
A3 will we be tagged in it? If so I love the idea, if not I may not see it. I’m intentional about this chat on sat morning, the weekdays I’m intentional about my family time. I pop on twitter when they’re in bed. #BookCampPD
As a principal I encouraged others into leadership roles. In #BookCampPD I hope you will consider completing the forms on the website to be a guest moderator, write a guest blog post, a testimonial, make a suggestion for improvement, or connect w/ others. Just do it - be engaged!
