Using Google Books in a Blog

Well I hope I Will Richardson doesn’t mind, but I’m going to plug his book in my blog by using a tool that will change the face of blogs as they can be used in education. Upon checking my Feeds for the day, I saw that Will discovered a great tool. The article, bookmarked at Will’s Delicious site can be read here: SchoolLibraryJournal.com. I just had to try and embed a Google Book Search text in my blog. I chose Will’s text because I just included it as part of a research assignment for a group of classroom teachers and technology trainers across the state (of North Carolina).

So here’s the text…check out the level of interaction that you have..zoom, pan, scroll, just as if it were yours for the taking.

So what would you do with a tool like this? (other than buying a copy of this great text)

I found my way to your blog through the Skype wiki which I still must join. Hey I learned something new. I didn’t know about embedding the Google books! Thanks.
