Andrew's comment -- being dropped into Goodreads is like a phobic shopper being dropped into a shopping mall -- way too overwhelming....
Ways to connect Goodreads content to physical reality.....
-- The Reading Game
-- Posters
BUT THEN MAKE KIDS put books on "to read" shelf
-- get the physical books into their hands -- and let the virtual just reflect it
rather than expecting the virtual to get the books in their hands
Reading log = substitution
Book report = substitution
