To compliment the A.S.K. program or to be of use for any other teachers who are using my books in their classroom, you can integrate technology and literature and visit my educational blog sites that most all schools in the U.S. can safely visit without filters. 

To view the blogs:

http://visitmyclass.com/blogs/journey07/  (Journey Back to Lumberjack Camp)

 http://visitmyclass.com/blogs/traders07/ (Traders in Time)

http://visitmyclass.com/blogs/traintomidnight07/  (Train to Midnight)

http://visitmyclass.com/blogs/farawayhome07/ (A Faraway Home)

On these blogs, students are asked four questions by the facilitator.  Next, I ask the students four questions.  The students at this point are allowed to send their responses and questions to me for more information.

To make the technology more interesting, we have included Podcasts   (like a radio broadcast) where the students hear more information concerning the book(s) they are reading and the research that has gone into the creation of the book(s).

If you are interested in participating in this blog program, which runs twice a school year, please contact Jim Wenzloff, Blog Coordinator at: wenzloff@gmail.com

For those of you who are interested in a blogging Workshop for writers, please email me on this project and visit the site at: Adventures in Writing
