For these next two weeks, I will be studying abroad in the UK at UCL’s E-Publishing Conference. I will be creating a new blog of my experiences there, which will also include my final paper. Stay tuned, I will post the link to that blog here within the next month.
If you’re looking for a way to get kids reading this summer, check out NYPL’s Summer Reading Program. This year’s theme is “One World, Many Stories.” To get started: sign up, generate a cool username, and build a fun avatar of yourself! The summer reading website is run like a social networking site. Add books you’ve read or are reading to your personal shelves, review books, add friends, and much more, all while earning reading badges. It’s not just for kids, either!
I love seeing kids use their education to improve education. This is a great school, with innovative instructors and students alike. Check out these eighth graders’ hard work–they’re bypassing the manufacturers!
