    This article is about a peditrician who started giving books to his patients with each well visit. He modeled to the parents how to read with their children. Over a nearly twenty year span, it has been discovered that overall literacy has improved.

  • Beckett had met him through a friend and wanted to make sure Lonelygirl15 didn't get them sued for deceiving the public.

      This was a good idea on their part. It would be bad if they were successful and then got sued by somebody.

      could this been seen as mocking vloggers out there? hmm...
  • The phenomenon is partly driven by technology – Lonelygirl15 wouldn't exist without the explosion of broadband and the advent of YouTube – and partly by the appeal of a hybrid form of storytelling. Lonelygirl15 is a mashup of homemade video diary, soap opera, and mysterious, hint-laden narrative like Lost. It's all the more engrossing because viewers can correspond with the characters and even affect the plot. For Flinders, it's a thrillingly uncharted creative landscape, and he has no interest in abandoning it for the tired conventions of film or television. Rather, he wants to be the JJ Abrams of the Internet.

      I'm floored by this whole concept. I think this is one of the best new uses of technology as a writing space, acting environment and interactive literacy playground.
  • Welcome to the set of Lonelygirl15, the breakout Web hit that, in September, was unmasked by fans as a work of fiction.

  • But there was an important difference: A Hollywood movie is understood to be fictional. Vlogging on YouTube is not. Plus, to fully harness the medium, they intended to carry on email correspondences with YouTubers while posing as Bree.

      This seems kind of deceptive, in my opinion, especially when they realized what might be against them. On the one hand, it's wrong to make people think you are what you aren't when there is no way to note the fact it is ficiton, yet on the other hand, I don't know if they ever would've gotten the start they did without taking the steps they took.
  • Almost everything in the room was bought from Target on the same day, and the price tags are still hanging from some of her stuff. The closet is filled with men's clothing, and in the corner two guys huddle around a laptop and stare at the webcam feed.

      I like this whole idea of making your own TV show on the Web. It makes me wonder if TV will be renamed and some acronym for computer show will replace it. Podcasts? Is that what they are? If some one can tell me, let me know!

      this sounds like half of the people on youtube, talking into the camera and wishing someone would listen....similar to bloggers.
  • When he got to college, Flinders dreamed up an alter ego – an awkward, geeky homeschooled girl. As a camp counselor, he told fireside tales about her experiences. He wrote short stories about her, and when he tried to make it as a writer in Hollywood, he put her in his screenplays.

      Being that he was beat as a kid you would think that he would have made his character cool and not awkward a geeky. This would be a way he could escape what happen to him.
  • But nobody bought his scripts: Agents and producers didn't think much of the character he had created. After working a few years as an assistant to an independent director and struggling to stay out of debt, he left town and moved in with his grandmother in Merced. He supported himself by writing a draft of a film for an aspiring producer in Maryland; it was about a serial killer.

      This shows that eventhough he did not sell any of his scripts at first that he did not quit.

      This just goes to show that you need to be aware of who your audience is in order to get your message (or in this case, your creation) out for the public to view.
  • Together, with next to no budget, they have created a show that illuminates the future of television.

      If this "show" is the future of television, I won't need to invest in a TV or cable anymore because I think this is ridiculous and not entertaining.

    The IRA is a professional organization for teachers. Members have access to numerous sources about reading and education, including peer-reviewed journals and publications, conferences, research, and networking. One of the best things about IRA is that you can select the publications of your membership based on the age level you teach (there are publications geared specifically to young learners, elementary, and secondary).
