Short Description
With today’s use of Google, instant messaging, blogs, and wikis, the definition of reading and literacy seems to be changing. Currently, many educators who teach adolescents literacy and technology are suggesting ways in which teachers can address these “new literacies,” close the gap between adolescents’ on-line life at home and school, and help teens become more literate. This presentation will discuss the findings of a study that asks the question: With time provided for reading through SSR, does the use of a personal blog as a response to self-selected text help motivate middle school students to read?
