Digital Reading:  What's Essential in Grades 3-8
 by Franki Sibberson and Bill Bass

 I was unfamiliar with this title but I noticed it in many people's stacks of summer reading. 

Rather than repeating information, here is the link to learn how to get the book and become a part of the conversation this summer: http://reflectandrefine.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-2015-cyberpd-book-is.html

But why, you might ask, would I want to become part of #CyberPD 2015?  Here are my reasons: (1) I get to read a book WITH other people (2) I am able to "talk" with other people about the book (3) I get glimpses into other teachers' classrooms (4) my own writing about the book deepens my understanding and pushes my thinking (5) I learn a lot from our community and (6) it is really fun!

If that isn't enough reason, you can also read Cathy Mere's thoughts about online professional learning http://www.reading.org/literacy-daily/classroom/post/engage/2012/07/31/growing-professional-learning-conversations-with-cyber-pd
