New Tools for Teachers and Promoting Literature

by Bibliofile Research Group

Oct 14, 2010

It was difficult enough to convince young adults that literature had something to offer when I was in high school. With an increasing number of opportunities for distraction, I imagine that it's even more difficult now.

Well, I hope that we can be of some service in that regard. I represent a small group called Bibliofile, which has the aims of promoting literacy by showing how all roads lead back to books. In that way, we hope to build tools for educators, so that it will make the seminal part of their jobs easier. The scope of this project is broad, but we're starting to hit milestones in order to make that happen. Since I know that your time is brief, I'll try to convey as much as possible with brevity.

As an example, here is the alpha version of a new tool for teachers, which can both assist their lesson plans and help students to become more interested in learning about literature. It's called the Extra Credit Creator, and it can be found here:
