    We take it for granted as English language teachers that we need to develop our students' reading skills, but in most cases the nearest our students get to reading online is a printed version of a web page pre selected by their teacher.

    A weekly webcast. We like to think that it's our perspectives as reglular classroom teachers that makes our webcast special. The main participants on the blog, podcast, and webcast are K-13 teachers who enjoy telling "new stories" about their classrooms. Our favorite question: "Can you tell us a story about that? Something that happened recently in your classroom?" Our motto: "Keep it real!"
