Widgets are a lot of fun and can be quite useful. There are Widgets for just about everything! I am a fan of iGoogle and use a few of the many choices offered there. There are many sources for widgets. Here is a widget from Scholastic.com that may be of interest to teachers. Their website says:

“The Teacher Book Wizard is the FREE ultimate children’s book search engine. Drop the widget on your site to give it the power of Teacher Book Wizard search.

The widget will help teachers find:

  • Book and author information
  • Reading levels
  • Book-based lesson plans, booktalks and discussion guides
  • Series lists”
