Reviews

Using Blogs to Enhance Literacy is the future of teaching composition in the classroom for all different levels. As a teacher in both the high school and college levels, I've found this text insightful for building a curriculum one year at a time. Diane Penrod doesn't just introduce a series of new ideas, she allows the reader to understand how to apply new concepts and actually make them work in both curriculum planning and the classroom. This text forces the reader to prioritize what actually happens in student writing environments and how to make the students think more actively. Whether you're looking for more ways of incorporating technology into the classroom, or just interested in finding new ways to engage students, this text is an important read.--Adrian-Michael Blumenthal
