Donna Alvermann, Distinguished Research Professor in the department of language and literacy education, was quoted in a Business Wire story about a free online educational service for teachers developed by Boston public television station WGBH.
“I am greatly impressed with these resources,” Alvermann said. “Teachers and students can work with images and video to make print come alive. Interactive/multimedia texts draw students into the subject matter in ways that print alone cannot do. The resources encourage students to think like historians and scientists. Kudos once again for striking a balance that is rarely found in multimedia resources for middle-grades students.”
