Reflect on 21st Century Literacies
Inspired by an educational theory developed in the 20th century by social constructivist Lev Vygotsky, Blog of Proximal Development might sound a tad stiff and academic. Don’t let the name fool you. Written by Canadian teacher Konrad Glogowski, this blog is accessible, insightful and conversational. Concentrating on adolescent literacy and technology, Glogowski explores a wide range of topics, including how Web 2.0 tools can aid classroom instruction and professional development. Recent posts include a discussion of his travels with Teachers Without Borders and a virtual exhibit created using Second Life software.

Blog About Books
Presented by National Geographic for Kids, DogEared is a blog about books—good books, funny books, adventure books; books about animals, friendship, pirates, faraway places . . . every kind of book that kids enjoy. Why is the site called “DogEared”? You know when you read a book and you turn the top edge of a page over to mark your place? That’s called a “dog-ear”! Students mark (“dog-ear”) the Web page so they can return to it often in order to read real kids’ reviews and recommendations. They also share their own opinions and create their own reading wish list—as if it were their own online book club.
