Welcome to my blog on Literacy!

There is a big emphasis right now on helping our students become 21st century learners. We need to help students become independent readers and writers who can think critically and solve real world problems. I want this blog to be helpful for both teachers and parents in the process of supporting 21st century literacy! Please look through all of the different resources I have posted and share any great resources that you might have! Thanks!

Great Video

This video is a great introduction to why we need to focus on 21st century literacy skills. The video says that being literate is about more than just being able to read and write.

New Tools Workshop

My professor, Dr. Ford, shared this with our class. Any teacher who wants to use 21st century tools to engage their students in reading and writing have to check this website out! I found so many cool links like skyping with authors, authors' blogs, SMART board resources, online writing templates, and so much more! I spent hours looking through all of these wonderful 21st century resources and barely scratched the surface! You have to get on this website!!!
