BookBub - Get Free and Bargain Bestsellers For Your eReader!

What is BookBub?

http://www.bookbub.com

BookBub is a free (daily) email newsletter that keeps you updated about deeply discounted and free digital books. You choose the types of books you'd like with categories ranging from mysteries to cookbooks, and they send the best deals in those genres to your inbox.

BookBub doesn't actually sell books -- they simply alert you by email to fantastic limited-time offers that can be purchased from retailers like Amazon's Kindle store, Barnes and Noble's Nook store, Apple's iBookstore, and others. When you sign up, you may choose from their list of retailers. Book publishers offer deals at these sites for promotional purposes, and the BookBub staff works with them to determine the best ones to send to members.  Each deal is available for a Limited Time!!  Sometimes for just that one day.

BookBub features works ranging from big-name authors like Michael Connelly, Debbie Macomber, and Jodi Picoult, to independent authors who might be lesser known but whose books are getting rave reviews. The team of book experts is working around the clock to bring you the best deals on quality books that you'll love.

 

Just enter your email and select you retailers and your reading interests:

 

PADLET (Formerly Wallwisher)

http://padlet.com/

(The old Wallwisher)

• Put the wall on your blog or website. Make it more wonderful.  Embed it!

• Paste link to a youtube video? Check!

• Drag a word document from your computer? Check!

• Take a picture from your iPad camera? Check!

• Keep your wall private between friends. If you like them, give them permissions like the ability to change what you write. If you are the social kind, make a public wall for the whole world to see.

• Mobile:   Your phone, your tablet, your TV- Padlet works on everything.

• Like flexibility? Use the free form layout. Like organization? Use streams.

EXAMPLES:

 

 I have used this as an "evaluation" tool.  After a presentation, I would ask participants to go the web address I give them and post a comment on the day's learning.  I am sure you can think of many other ways to use Padlet!!

"Teachers often write to us about how they use Padlet to pose a simple question to their class, or to collect exit tickets at the end of the class, or, sometimes, to collect assignments or projects from students."
