Text structure

Talks about the origin of an idea of a "reading" club that uses Twitter, rather than physical proximity as the connection. i.e. get a group of people to read the same article at the same time and use twitter to share their insights. And the idea of including the author. Wonder how this might apply to reading/literacy in a school setting?

Research also suggests that educators help motivate students by using materials and implementing activities that students consider meaningful (Spratt, Humphreys, & Chan, 2002). As one of Pinkman's students wrote, "...once or twice a week I check my blog and then other students write comments for me, my motivation is up, usually teacher check my blog, so if I read teacher comments my teacher thought about me, my motivation up" (Pinkman, 2005, p. 20). Due to the popularity of computer and Internet technology and the growing interest in blogging, it was expected that our group of learners would also find the use of blogs in their English language study highly motivating.
