New
Year, New Blog January
1, 2014
On New Year’s Day 2014, I’m making a commitment to blog regularly
about teaching reading and writing and the technologies that boost student
learning. New Year’s seems a propitious
day to make a (foolish or worthwhile—choose one!) commitment. Last November I
tried to complete the NaNoWriMo challenge where people try to complete 50,000 words of writing in the month of November.
Though I fell a bit short, I actually found writing 1600 words a day very
helpful to my thinking and to my writing. I’ve been teaching students a long
time (decades), am using Twitter for my Professional Learning Network to follow
stellar teachers of literacy, and have been teaching blogging to my students
for my more than five years.
My burning interests?
1.
How to teach writing and reading more
effectively!
2.
How to start an independent reading program at
my school.
3.
How to use classroom technology to enhance
student engagement.
