[MOSAIC] Computer Clusters/Read Aloud for 8th Grade Girls

[Shauna Covell]

Hello everyone.  I am a literacy graduate student, and have an upcoming presentation on incorporating a small computer cluster into daily instruction.  I was wondering if any of you have a small computer cluster in your classroom (a group of 3-6 computers), and how you utilize the machines on a daily basis.  Any examples and feedback would be much appreciated.  
	Best,

PS—I just finished a great book by Katherine Patterson that would be appropriate for a read aloud with 8th grade girls.  It’s called The Kings Equal.  It’s short with a good message.
