In the act of blogging, students are crafting and creating texts, sharing meaningful messages, and engaging in powerful literacy experiences. But, most students don’t see these activities as being literate because they are not school sanctioned.

I recently read an article in the New York Times and was struck by the debate over online reading versus printed-text reading. Reading is constantly changing in this world of technology. Many fear is that book reading may be a lost art. Students seem to be shifting their reading patterns and habits from books to online texts.
