Refelction on a really cool web site.

I was browsing the web looking for ideas for using technology in education when I found this video and it seemed like a really cool idea.  the video, if you haven't watched it is about using Follettshelf.com.  This is an online resource where there are ebooks for teachers to access and read.  these are particularly good for the interactive white boards and, as the video shows, it works well with the smart boards.  Going to the site itself you can take a look at several different books under a demo account and they are all very good.  This site also has several other features that go fairly seamlessly with the book while you are reading it.  Up at the top of the page, right above the book, there is a dictionary, place to search a word or phrase, as well as a dual page view.  Overall this is a great resource for teachers to use, whether you are looking at a fun book for kids or looking at what butterflies are it has the potential to be very useful in teacher.
