School Talk is a lively six-page newsletter designed specifically to help classroom teachers bridge the gap between the ideal and the real world of teaching. Presented in a friendly, informal voice, each issue focuses on one particular topic and deals in practical terms with questions that teachers everywhere are asking. Since teachers choose the topics explored in each issue of School Talk, the conversation in upcoming newsletters will continue to focus on what really matters to teachers and learners in today's elementary classrooms. (Published October, January, April, and July.)
Editors: Frank Chiki and Andrea Garcia

School Talk, July 2010
Theme: 21st Century Literacies: Bringing It All Together in Our Schools
The past year’s issues of School Talk have all focused on 21st century literacies. In this issue, though, we hear from some voices we haven’t heard from before: the technology teachers who work in the computer labs and help introduce new literacy tools to classrooms, and the students themselves, who tell us what they think of these new modes for learning.
