Phi Delta Kappan archives currently available

I was very excited to see that the November 2014 issue of Phi Delta Kappan focuses on the theme of Literacy Instruction in a Brave New World. 
And I was even more excited to learn that this issue and past ones are currently available through FREE online access to celebrate the addition of Phi Delta Kappan to SAGE Journals

 
Here is a sampling of some of the November articles: 

• Michael C. McKenna:  "Literacy instruction in the brave new world of technology"
• Joan Richardson  "Maryanne Wolf: Balance technology and deep reading to create biliterate children" and 
• Christopher Harris "Fact or fiction? Libraries can thrive in the Digital Age"

A full Table of Contents with links to November articles is available as well as an archive of all online issues (Sept 2000 and after).

A discussion guide accompanying the November issue is available as well as discussion guides for past issues on themes like "Exploring Classroom Management," Student Learning: Engagement and Motivation," "Obstacles and Strategies in Spreading Innovation" and many more.  

Wednesday: Dancing the Technology Tango

If that title caught your attention, consider registering for the FREE webinar sponsored by NCTE and ISTE. Yes, it's called "Dancing the Technology Tango: English Teachers, Tech Coordinators and Students Learning Together". TIME: Wed. Sept. 22 at 5:00pm CDT.

National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) website offers this description: "Join the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and NCTE on Wednesday, September 22, 2010, for a free Web Seminar designed for instructional leaders, technology coordinators, staff developers, curriculum coordinators, literacy coaches, English teachers, and others who are working to develop rich and authentic 21st century learning experiences and curricula.

[It continues] During this webinar, we will explore models, resources, and tools for collaborative instructional planning between those who know the curriculum and those who understand the unique capacities of digital technologies. To that end, we will tour the US Department of Education’s School 2.0 etoolkit website with over 700 free resources to help educators with technology integration in the classroom. ... Our goal will be to anchor the discussion in real examples of collaboration that have fostered authentic and rich English language arts pedagogies with digital media."

Presenters are Sara Kajder, NCTE member and author, and Chris O’Neal, ISTE faculty. Their bios appear on the NCTE website -- the webinar is free, but registration -- via that site -- is required.
