Your experiment has reminded me how important it is to experiment and the common denominator of success is this: intention. Do we know what we're doing and why. I love that you've tried something new and I love how this experiment seems to have acquainted students with books they may never have found otherwise. I hope your spirit of innovation becomes contagious! Kim Yarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082963398297010139noreply@blogger.com
