Diane LaGrone…still talkin’ about reading!

This blog is a place for all of us to talk about reading, in school and out. My primary targets will be folks who want to talk about reading and high school classes. I plan to post a new topic each week but feel free to add ideas and questions.

Let’s begin with success stories…and then we’ll move on to areas where you might want help. My favorite line from a high school reading story…”Miss, you mean you will REALLY help me find something I want to read?” So small, so sad, so true.

Join me; share a success story!

Testing…Wrightslaw   is a great website.

I’m still working on using html code. WrightsLaw is a great site.

Back at this again. I labored 2 hours trying to add a ClustrMap to my sidebar. I finally tried changing the theme and voila…all the changes had happened. I’m convinced that there is a page of very simple instructions that I’m just missing.

Onward.

I plan to have this thing ready for teachers to use in a couple of weeks.

Nothing is ever as easy as it looks. All I want to do is talk about reading, okay? That seems easy; everyone I know has one of these blamed things. Unfortunately, to talk/write about reading, one has to have a forum. I could, I suppose, simply join the other nuts out on the street but I’d really, really, really like to hear from other people, too.

So my pal, Karen, helps me with this idea of a blog. We considered other formats, wikis, for example, but this seemed easier for me and for others. WRONG.

I make this vent my first real post for two reasons:
1) I want everyone to suffer with me as I do this; and
2) I want a record of this so that I can talk to teachers about how
we often just throw our hands up over technology and go to the
bookstore instead.

Folks I know are hungry for reading conversation, so, by golly, I’m going to make this work.

Back to the salt mines…
