= **How do I creatively and effectively use web 2.0 tools to increase reading motivation and literacy?** =



==We are living in an ever-evolving digital society that will require students to be competitive, collaborative, and be competent in the new literacies. My goal as an educator is to motivate students be be life long learners. Specifically, as a Language Arts teacher, I want to motivate my students to read and increase their reading comprehension. The use of technology and web 2.0 teachers can help engage students in a variety of ways. Through my learning and research in the New Literacies Global Learning program, I have found many strategies and tools to promote the new literacies, and I have an understanding how action research can positively impact my classroom. In addition, I have been empowered as a leader to turn my visions and passions into reality.==
