Connection, Curation, Connection #4

Certainly a highlight of this week was reading all the tweets filling our collective feeds with news of the second annual #nErDcampMI held in Parma, Michigan this year.  Don't miss the links so you can share in this day of learning and celebrating the best things being done in education, books and reading.  Also people are reading up a storm posting all those books they love by using the #bookaday hashtag.  Enjoy the collected tweets and updated collections below.  Take time for reading.  Have a great week.
