Literacy Learning in Networked Classrooms

Using the Internet With Middle-Level Students

Mary L. McNabb, with Bonnie B. Thurber, Balazs Dibuz, Pamela A. McDermott, and Carol Ann Lee

“Good schools have good teachers, but they don’t become great schools until their teachers form collaborative learning communities that enable them to personalize instruction and raise student achievement beyond what any of them could accomplish alone. Literacy Learning in Networked Classrooms provides a rich description of what can be accomplished in those communities.”
— Tom Carroll, National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future
