Results from BLOGS
Ever since I have started to read about blogs and have subscribed to my bloglines (RSS Feeds) and I see evidence of them everywhere! A few articles have caught my attention so I have attached their links for your convenience.
The 1st is called "Putting the LAB in collaboration". A high school teacher has written it and ASCD has published this articile with links to the teacher's blog. http://ascd.typepad.com/blog/2006/09/putting_the_lab.html
Another, from the the Guardain in the UK discusses recent research
that indicates children's spelling may not be harmed from texting. I know that has been a bit debate among educators. Are kids ruining their language skills by using IM? These researchers say no. To read the article, Texting slang aiding children's language skills, go to http://education.guardian.co.uk/schools/story/0,,1869915,00.html?gusrc=ticke
A 3rd article is about The New Literacies Team from the University of Conneticut and Clemson. They want to boost disadvanted students' internet literacy by teaching the kids using the process called "reciprocal teaching". Reciprocal teaching is when the teacher teaches a learning process. The teacher reads aloud, articulates outloud questions, thoughts, speculations and analysis of the text. Then they hand the text to the student to do the same thing. This will ultimately take the kids beyond email, IM, surfing & playing games; thus enable them to be more critical users of internet text.
