We had our first online study group associated with Becky's Sipe's book, Adolescent Literacy at Risk? The Impact of Standards. The group will be continuing the conversation in the Online Study Group (in which you are a member) in the Ning. Even though you couldn't join us for last night's conversation I hope you will consider joining us for the next conversation on March 17th. It’s free but seats are limited so you will need to reserve a seat by visiting http://www.ncte.org/community/book-reg .
You might also be interested in participating in the book discussion with Sara Kajder, author of Adolescents and Digital Literacies: Learning Alongside Our Students.

Whe you say "local PA sites," are you referring to things like Pennsylvania mag., which I am planning to approach, or is there a network there that I'm not aware of? Thanks, Steve McKee
