HELPING EDUCATORS DO THEIR WORK BETTER 4ELLER2OAD 4HOUSAND/AKS #!s0H  s&AX  s#ORWIN0RESSCOM

“As a folklorist, writer, and teacher of writing, I know firsthand how interactive author Web sites make it possible for students to talk, meet, and exchange ideas with extraordinary writers. With the click of a mouse, a writer enters into a student’s universe in a new way—and literature itself moves closer to home. Reissman, a transformative teacher, and Gura, one of New York City’s strongest proponents of technology and education, have devised a brilliant strategy for utilizing the World Wide Web in the service of literacy. This book offers a wide range of opportunities for teachers and students to use these free resources to foster literacy and learning in the classroom.” —Steve Zeitlin, Director City Lore “A fantastic tool for educators to utilize in their classroom, shortening the distance between the educator and the author and expanding the horizons of the classroom into the World Wide Web. Whether it be listening to a podcast, reading a biographical essay, or simply viewing family pictures, the text-to-author connection is easily facilitated using this practical and handy implement.” —Chaia Frishman, In-House Literacy Developer Yeshiva Darchei Torah
