The April 2006 issue of AdLIT's In Perspective focuses on literacy, popular culture, and technology. The entire issue can be downloaded, and regular columns include the following: (1) featured article; (2) classroom vignettes; (3) student voices; (4) a look at the Ohio Graduation Test; (5) for your bookshelf; and (6) resources from the ORC collection. In this month's featured article, "Wired Students, Disconnected Learners," David L. Bruce explores some of the misunderstandings that can occur when students engage in technology use. The "In Perspective" columns that follow include insights about and strategies for teaching literacy, popular culture, and technology. "A Look at the OGT" focuses on using NAEP items to help students achieve the benchmarks, and "For Your Bookshelf" provides reviews of books by Sara B. Kajder, Ernest Morrell, and Will Richardson.
