Here is part of the official blurb about the book: As many teachers know, students may be adept at text messaging and communicating online but do [...]
As I whittle away some time between flights on my way to visit colleagues at the Boise State Writing Project this weekend, I finally have a few moments to capture some thoughts about my experience leading the book club conversation on the English Companion Ning during the month of September.
