My plan this summer is to get better organized and get rid of things I don't use...well ok, well maybe find a use for things that I don't use. I am changing schools next year so most of my stuff is in boxes just waiting....waiting...waiting. This is what I brought home to organize. YIKES!
step 1: organize and catalog classroom books.
This also includes getting rid of books that I don't use in the classroom. :(
Some will be donated and others will be set aside for my daughter. Ok, that done...now make a list of what I have...hmmm.
For cataloging I found this...
So far so good. I started out just typing in the isbn's, but then I found there was an app for my phone. So, I downloaded it and now I just scan the codes in. Sometimes it won't recognize a code, then you have to type it in. I haven't spent too much time playing with the website yet, but it appears you can also record which books your students have checked out. Right now I am just using it for my own personal books so I am not playing with that part yet. At least now I will know what books I have. :)
