Tools of Education

Technology provides new tools that are unbeatable in education. My advice for teachers is: Don't be intimidated by them; just jump in and use them. A few years ago, I remember working on creating a school magazine to publish the exemplary writing by our students. In this website I am doing just the same thing, but just as magazines are becoming obsolete and being replaced by web publishing, so is my teaching practice. Please read our newly published response to literature essays and use them with your classes as anchor texts. Printing a school magazine was a lot of work, not to mention the expensive amount of paper we used to print them out. This web magazine was much easier; I just copy/pasted most of it from the digital copies the students handed in.
