Redefining Literacy for a New Age - Peter Johnston is a Professor at the University at Albany-SUNY.

"At IRA I stopped at the Subtext booth and was completely surprised to find out that it was a FREE app for iPads. I just started exploring it today to see how it might be used in a classroom, and I thought I'd pass along what I've found."

"If it's been a while since you've returned to ReadWriteThink, I urge you to consider a visit today. The quality portal, rich with free resources and sponsored by the International Reading Association (IRA), the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and the Verizon Foundation has grown even more interactive. So what's new?  There's an array of simple, elegant mobile apps available for iOS and Android that may be discovered by browsing grade level, type, learning objectives and theme."
