Internet technology promotes literacy. This session will demonstrate how two teachers use the Internet to advance literacy. One teacher teaches ESL in a multilingual urban school while the other teaches English and journalism in an upper middle-class suburban school.

Each year, the NCTE Annual Convention draws thousands of K-12 teachers, college faculty, administrators, and other educational professionals from around the world.
