FOR-PD Literacy Blog
FOR-PD has launched the "FOR-PD Literacy Blog". This blog is provided to all those interested in literacy and literacy research. Throughout the semester the FOR-PD Reading Specialist will be posting thoughts, ideas, and follow-up for the lessons provided within the FOR-PD course. She will post reading news, new research, and literacy links that you may want to visit and share with others.
You can read the blog by visiting the blog site at http://forpd.ucf.edu/literacyblog/. In order to make comments to a posting you must become a registered user. To register, please visit http://forpd.ucf.edu/literacyblog/wp-login.php?action=register and type in a user name and email address. Once this has been completed, a password will be emailed to you. (You can also subscribe via your e-mail address on our literacy blog site.)
Online Chats
Tech/Course Chats
The tech/course chats offered by FOR-PD cover technology and course content questions about the FOR-PD course. These are held by our Help Desk Manager and/or Technology Specialist as well as our Reading Specialist. The first 30-minutes are dedicated specifically to technology help/questions and the final 30-minutes include time for specific questions about the course in general or the content of the course.
All chats are logged and posted on our web site (Chat Transcripts).
A chat schedule is currently available for 2008.
Please review the Chat Protocol [PDF: 1 page / 27k], as FOR-PD uses a moderated discussion format.

About the Literacy Newsletter
FOR-PD's Literacy newsletter deals specifically with literacy and learning for K-12 teachers of Florida's public schools. As you read and review our newsletter you will find information on local, state, and federal literacy news, upcoming conferences, celebrations, sources of funding, resources on the World Wide Web, and resources you can use with your students. The participant section answers pertinent questions participants have about the course and provides helpful tips for successful completion. We hope that this newsletter will provide educators with useful information to support their literacy development and the work they do with Florida students.
We welcome your feedback on how we can better support you and help you grow professionally. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments.
