E-MAIL and PROJECTS

 

E-mail is one of the easiest and most motivating ways to start using technology in your literacy program. Students look forward to getting mail and are motivated to read and write because it is an authentic task. Setting up an exchange about books that the students are reading is a good way to go beyond book reading.

Many services have been created to match teachers to e-mail or project partners. Here are some of the best:
