Technologies and the Future of Writing Fall 2008 Mod 1

A test to see if your character is a Mary Sue/Gary Sue a.k.a. Perfect. Most fun

Combining art and writing, Bri-chan and Rain create an amazing web-comic about Alice and Reginald, the Mad Hatter.

A site for baby names. Search by beginning letter, ending letter, gender, nationality, meaning, or by lists, such as Tolkien names, celebrity names, and most popular. A useful tool for parents-to-be, yes, but also for writers and other creative artists.

I can't say much for the mechanics of the site itself, but I am interested in literacy awareness and education programs, so this is something I can see myself getting involved in.

This is a page I have used to do some prior research on schools I have observed in as part of my education course work.

This WebQuest would go really well with the Constitution Center field trip!

This WebQuest, called "The Write Stuff" is designed for 10th grade English students learning how to write a research paper.

A simple WebQuest is that it only gives directions, but is comprehensive and can be adapted to any election year.

This is actually a preview of the book by Ron Clark, which I love!

Literacy - it's not just for kids, folks. Good job, Penn State.

Yes, he does still exist! For all those who thought it couldn't happen

Another great spot for field trips! This is a planner to help teachers put together exciting trips for their students.

I just visited the Constitution Center for the first time today. I learned a lot and recalled a lot i learned in school. It was a lot of fun! This page gives educators a resource for class trips and educational opportunities.
