Spring 2009 — How Can Technology Enhance English/Language Arts Instruction?

Whether we like it or not, technology is changing reading, writing, and literacy instruction, moving it beyond oral recitation and print-based texts to online and electronic media. The use of computers and other technologies is creating new opportunities for students to write for “real” audiences and collaborate with their peers. Rather than detracting from literacy, the amount of written content on the internet underscores the need for reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. Some educators incorporate new technology with enthusiasm while others experience frustration or skepticism. How have you integrated technology into your classroom and how has it helped meet the needs of your students?

Manuscripts Due: March 13, 2009

Fall 2009 — From Sachar to Shakespeare: Igniting a Passion for Reading in Students

Most English/Language Arts teachers have their favorite books or genres, from YA literature to Shakespeare, from science fiction to poetry.  However, teachers are often frustrated with their students’ lack of interest in reading.  How do you encourage your students to read?  What have you done to ignite their passion for reading?  When did your own passion for reading originate and who or what inspired you?

Manuscripts Due: August 31, 2009
