About Me
I am the executive director of LitLife, a professional development organization specializing in the teaching of reading and writing, and LitWorld, which brings support to global school communities serving the world's most vulnerable children. I also founded a nationally recognized literacy initiative called Books for Boys, bringing books, readers and programming to at-risk kids in foster care. I've written several books on the teaching of reading and writing, and have one coming for parents this spring! I am really happy to be here on Classroom 2.0 and look forward to learning from everyone! I appreciate the opportunity to join in with you into this marvelous journey.

    Additionally I´ve created the big group on CR 2.0 called DigiSkills with now 452 members - it´s about digital teaching methods. Would love if you decide to join.
    Cheers

    Hi Pam,

    In your quest for world literacies, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's web based virtual classroom. Its basic service is free and it is full of great features.

    Another web 2.0 tool that might prove useful is authorstream. It is a web based power point presentation platform.

    Hi Pam,

    I lead the Tutor/Mentor Connection, base in Chicago. Our work aims at helping volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs grow in high poverty areas, connecting inner city kids with tutors/mentors. I encourage you to add your links to the T/MC web site, and browse the articles on my blog to see how we're trying to connect private sector donors with programs all over the Chicago region.
