ASCD: Special Report, August 2009
In this ever-changing world, educators must not only utilize technology to engage students but also to help students understand the capabilities -- and possible abuses -- of the media they are increasingly using in their everyday lives. This two-part ASCD SmartBrief Special Report, "Literacy 2.0," looks at the best ways to do that. Part I of this special report examines what it means to be literate in the digital age. How do teachers incorporate such tools as social networking in lessons? And how do schools attempt to bridge the digital divide for students? Part II will examine ways to help students develop into smart consumers of the information they receive through new technology and will look at the best practices of successful teachers.

Words of Encouragement

Don't ever be afraid to try something new. If you don't try, you will never know what could have been accomplished. You can't succeed unless you start somewhere. Don't be afraid of failure because to fail at something, is to have gained an experience. - Personal Trainer
