Note from the teacher: I think this is good web site for students if they follow the simple internet safety rules below. Bookcrossing promotes reading, encourages students to reflect on what they have read, and allows students to think globally.

How to use this web site safely:
1. Always have your parents or teacher supervise the use of any internet web site, including this one.
2. Post journal entry reviews of Bookcrossing books you have read anonymously. Your entries will automatically be anonymous if you just go to www.bookcrossing.com and do not log in as a member.
3. Use this web site only for journal entries recording what you thought of a book or for tracking where the book has gone. Do not use any of the links on the side panels.
