You did an excellent job with this presentation yesterday. You sort of consolidated many of the ideas I have been having while working with 6th graders into one concise easy to understand package. Thank you!
My pleasure! Feel free to contact me anytime with questions, or just let me know how it’s going!

Great presentation! Very timely, as I’m working on putting together a professional development course on Internet literacy.
BTW, did you get a chance to check out http://twhistory.org/ ?
Heather,
I really enjoyed your session – and would like to include it in the CUE Take-Aways post I’m working on right now. Unfortunately, I couldn’t open your drop.io files. Do you have your PowerPoint on Slideshare.net – or somewhere online?
I’d specifically like to share (using your cc attributions and referencing Teacher Created Resources)the rubric you included in your ppt.
I’m also wondering if you’d be interested in connecting with a group of 5th grade teachers in my EETT grant for a vidoeconferencing session.

[...] Teaching Internet Literacy as a Genre – Heather Wolpert-Gawron – This presentation just hummed along, starting with Heather’s opening statement: “We can’t assume that a good offline reader is a good online reader, or that a good reader of one genre is a good reader of another.” A few take-aways from Heather’s session: [...]
So sorry I missed this session as I’ve been hearing good things about it from several sources. I hope to catch your session next year at CUE.
