Chatting
It Up Online
Students
Talk to
a Favorite Author
By Pamela Livingston
|
One of the many things computer
technology can
provide to schools is a way to reach beyond the four walls
of the
classroom and bring a unique learning experience to
students. Pamela’s
students did this when they talked to a favorite author
during an
online chat. Walter McKenzie prepared a list of Web sites
where
you can find out about author chats to supplement
Pamela’s
article.
Web Resources
for Author Chats
Note. These Web sites were
valid when
this issue of L&L went to press. We have
no control
over these sites, though, and the Web is very volatile.
Please let
us know if you find a broken link, and we'll do our best
to update
it.
