http://treviansbookit.blogspot.com/ [|http://newtrierlibrary.blogspot.com] http://abemob.blogspot.com/ (new blog for books nominated for the 2009 Abe Lincoln Award ) Creating the blog is the easy part. . .promoting it and getting staff and students to participate is the "trick". . .We have started to experiment with audio book reviews and we would like to start creating some student audio reviews for the 2009 Abe Lincoln List. . . I also think the blogs can serve as a great place to congregate some book links, especially ones that appeal to teens. . .Let's keep sharing our ideas. How do we get more participation?- Can one blog serve both staff and students? Other???

 * **Paris High School,** Sarah Hill

[|http://prhowl.blogspot.com] = Book Reviews, news on reading, writing, culture http://www.d155.org/pr/library = library website Using a FrontPage form for students to submit book reviews has been really helpful in getting student-generated content to post on the blog. A few English teachers have really enjoyed getting students' reviews forwarded to them via email. Yet having the time to update the blog frequently is not always easy! It happens in spurts for me. Also, if you do decide to create a blog with blogger.com PLEASE remember to remove the navigation bar at the top. The "Next Blog" is often something we don't want our kids seeing.
