Scholastic, Helping Children Around the World to Read and Learn | Scholastic.com
Publisher and book fair juggernaut Scholastic comes through with some solid content for classroom teachers. In just a few minutes I found a to-do list generator, plenty of printer-friendly organizational tools and worksheets, and loads of lessons. They’ve even posted SMARTboard notebook files for download. Yeah, you have to pay to get everything, but there’s enough free stuff to keep us public educators interested.

Pew Research Center: Writing, Technology and Teens
Amanda Lenhart discusses survey results concerning school writing, personal writing, and writing in social networking. Could this be used to promote blogging/texting/chatting standards instruction in schools? If schools don’t teach students to use social networking and web 2.0 tools effectively and efficiently, who will?\n\nOf interest is this quote: “A considerable number of educators and children’s advocates worry that James Billington, the Librarian of Congress, was right when he recently suggested that young Americans’ electronic communication might be damaging ‘the basic unit of human thought — the sentence.’” This seems a little bit like saying if teens got a hold of new type of watch, they might damage the space-time continuum.
