Thing 17 Online Productivity
Give a review of the tool you explored - what worked, what didn't work, how might it be used in your personal or professional life?
I explored and joined Library Thing. What a fun site. It had a Book Talk section, an Author Chat, Early book Reviews, special interest groups to join such as Librarians who Library Thing that had over 6500 members. As a librarian, being in contact with online communities like this enhance both my personal and professional life. It great to have a place to share ideas and information that's interactive. It's another resource to help keep me up on what is current, what others are thinking and reading.

Thing 16 Google Docs
How might you use this tool in your personal and professional life?
This would be very useful for committee work as follow up to a meeting or in place of one. I could also see using this with other media specialists to share information. I would work great for instance in creating collaborative book lists, suggested reading lists by grade etc.
What issues come to mind about using this tool with students (ie, they need email addresses to log-in)?
I think it would be great to use this with students but as you point out, having email accounts is a problem with elementary. However, I noted your comment about the work around for this using a teacher generated email which they could access. I'll have to look into this in our district.
