NH Literacy Action Plan for the 21st Century

Below is a link to the NH Literacy Action Plan for the 21st Century. This is a great document developed by the NH DOE.

"The intent was to investigate and document strategies that would cross grade levels and content areas so that every teacher, regardless of contentarea, would become a teacher of literacy in that particular discipline."

This is a valuable document for every teacher and administrator in the state. You can download a copy at http://www.ed.state.nh.us/education/doe/organization/curriculum/School%20Improvement/literacy_action_plan.pdf

I have decided to follow Ms. Kennelly's lead and start using technology more. I used tech a lot when I was the teaching principal in Sandwich but I have gotten away form it.

I thought this might be a great place to post ideas for using technology in the classroom. For that matter we can share any ideas for the classroom, not just technology. So, add your ideas and let's share.
