Thoughts from Alan Sitomer ( author and blogger)

 From The next generation...standing on our shoulders

"More people in the 20th century read Shakespeare than any ever did in the 17th or 18th or even 19th centuries combined. And why? Because of technology.

And the thing is, for me, this illuminates the value of writing. Why? Because writing forces me to think and the thought above is a thought I'd never held before. It came to me through deeply ruminating about the impact of technology on today's kids and classrooms." ( Alan Sitomer)

You can find Alan Sitomer at the English Companion Ning and on Twitter. I encourage you to find out more about what he has to say on the topic of writing and technology and the classrooms of today.
