I own a Kindle, and my students seem to be generally interested until I tell them its for books.
I do love it and I find myself reading much more often, just out of convenience
I think the main advantage of digital readers is that they allow you ...
Stunning Michael. And I liked what you wrote, too, underneath the photo.
Here's my patch. The buildings are the city centre, and we're surrounded by hills and mountains. It's a beautiful place, though many complain about it being artificial. I've...
I like the idea of listening to the play rather than reading it.
I've always had trouble keeping up when trying to follow the audio, and I'd actually never considered that it could be easier for some. I'll definitely be using the idea.

I teach high school newcomers in an English learner program, and I can help in this situation. I hope she is still with you. Do you know which Chinese language she speaks? I might be able to connect her with one of my high school students, if you ...
Yeah, I was being mildly mocking--at the return of the old Roman stoicism all around and the sense that fate may be tragic but we are powerless to change it. I think lots of things but I only know a few things, and one of the things I know is that...

Photo of some of us at NCTE! Great fun.
Another thanks to all those out there that have voted! It was fun watching the votes fly in.
Looking good at the moment...#2 spot is a good place to be.
Please pass the message on to friends to vote so I'm not passed in the home run stretch. Votin...
This is totally not fair. I stopped to read the discussion this morning while eating my breakfast, and I'm bombarded by my other selves - the readers who have been dragged kicking and screaming into teaching writing. Mardie and Teresa, you could b...
Checker Finn says the darkness is falling and America is in decline and he's lamenting “our culture and our politics of polarization, selfishness, and bad manners.”
He cites the usual gloomy school news, but doesn't stop there:
Finally, we’re gi...
Hi! I'm really glad that you started this discussion because I actually just ran across the idea of microsoft photostory on Friday. It sounds like a great way to engage students in the classroom, but I am still in the process of creating lessons f...
