Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my new blog, which I have created following my recent presentation at the Vermont Middle Grades Professional Development Collaborative. There, I presented a research project on how new media (e.g., blogs, podcasts, wikis) can enhance curriculum, particularly in the realm of literacy, so I decided that I ought to develop a blog to keep the momentum going. I invite you to share this link with your colleagues and to visit often (or RSS me, if you dare!) as I will be adding resources and comments as often as I find them. My hope is to encourage experienced teachers who might not have experience with this media to learn more about it, use it, and see how it can enhance instruction, spark creativity and enthusiasm in your students, and make classroom life interesting. Thanks for stopping by!
