This article also offers many great real life ways to incorprate technology and literacy together. It offers ideas that teachers have used in all different grade levels and subjects. One activity that really intrigued me was instituted by a third grade teacher. She had a "blog host", a teddy bear named Jefferson Bear, who, each week posed questions for the students to answer in their blogs. Some questions required internet research, such as "What should be done about endangered species?" and others were prosocial questions such as "What should I do about a girl who is being mean to me in class?". Jefferson Bear then took the time to respond to individual student blog posts. I love this idea, and even at a middle school level, it is a great way to get students communicating with each other and using the internet to research.
