NCTE’s Annual Convention in Philadelphia in next week. I’m delighted to be chairing a session for some educators from California entitled “Integrating Blogs, Podcasting, and Digital Videos into 4th and 5th Grade Language Arts Classes.” Here’s the description of the session from the Convention Program:
The presenters will discuss (1) how blogs were integrated into the language arts curricula, (2) how podcasting and digital videos were used to increase students’ fluency with elements of narrative writing, and (3) the first-year results of the project in terms of the CST scores and an outside project evaluation.
The session is scheduled for Friday the 20th at 11:00 a.m. If this sounds interesting to you, then I hope you’ll add this session to your Convention Program.
Just a few days ago I received my advanced program guide for the convention. I had a great time looking through all of the interesting sessions. This one alreay caught my eye. Maybe I can say hello and say a personal thank you for how helpful this blog has been.
