Digital Literacy and Education

Co-Learners wiki: Things I've learned by David Warlick
David Warlick has written 3 books about digital literacy and education. Interestingly, he lives in Raleigh -- wonder if he'd be willing to speak to a group of homeschoolers about literacy and learning in the homeschool arena?

David Warlick's blog: 2 cents

>We do not like to describe blogging by comparing it to a diary. But it would not be inaccurate to call this blog just that. It is a diary of my greater mind, my experiences, observations, and reflections, mixed in with the responses of an eclectic community of readers — who are often the smarter part of me.It is a conversation.I blog to learn.

I do not promise answers here. I will ask far more questions.

Many of the barriers that prevent us from modernizing our education systems come from the baggage of outdated notions about teaching, learning, curriculum, our children, and their future. Asking questions seems to be one way of probing and provoking new perceptions about what we do, why we do it, and how we might adapt within an almost constantly changing environment.

I sincerely hope that you will enjoy reading this blog. It is not always serious and it is not always about education. It comes from a non-traditional educator who is grappling with an intensely exciting world he had no reason to expect.

Dysgraphia Links

 Bj's dysgraphia is becomimg more of an issue. Though he types very well, I may need to start figuring what to try to do to get accommodations for the SAT, etc.

Description of dysgraphia and accommodations:

Strategies for dealing with it:

A book on Amazon: Why Johnny Can't Write (though only 3 stars -- not many highly rated books about dysgraphia!!!)

Decent description but not much "what to do about it":

This website has a lot of sections -- I need to spend some more time on it.
