Feel like mentoring young, pre-service teachers?
I’ve discovered blogs by Monique and Carla, students at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education. They are part of a group of students who are keeping journals of their experiences this school year. These women are pursuing M.S.Ed. degrees in Reading/Writing and Literacy. While they are not talking about using technology in the classroom, I am sure they are aware of the power inherent in using Web 2.0 tools. I figured we could serve as an inspiration to them about the possibilities of technology’s effect on literacy by pointing them to our blogs.
Let’s show them how adding Web 2.0 elements can enhance student literacy.
