In celebration of National Poetry Month, the Apple Learning Interchange is pleased to announce the launch of "2:25PM / Real-World Writing," a collection from The Student Publishing Program that features exclusive poetry readings and writing advice from many of the world's top writers, including U.S. Poet Laureate Donald Hall.
These resources provide three educational programs through the latest technologies most prevalent in the lives of teens - on-demand video, podcasts and other mobile formats - with the common goal of bringing real-world writing into the classroom and classroom writing into the real world:

"Ask America's Poet Laureate" invites secondary students and educators nationwide to submit their text or video questions to U.S.
Poet Laureate Donald Hall until April 20th. On April 30th, we'll publish his video responses to the 10 questions that help student writers the most. Click here to submit a question!

"Publish with the Poet Laureate!" invites secondary students to submit their text or video poetry for possible publication alongside the poems of U.S. Poet Laureate Donald Hall. This program is a free, ongoing contest to help inspire students to write for a larger audience, and to help students recognize their work as publish- worthy. Click here to submit a poem!

"Greatest Living Writers Project" invites people of all ages to experience exclusive video poetry readings and writing advice from many of the world's greatest writers - Poet Laureates, Pulitzer Prize- winners, National Poetry Slam Champions, best-selling novelists, playwrights, and musicians. This resource not only preserves and shares the voices, writings and teachings of literary icons, but also brings these top writers into the classrooms through on-demand video as a means to inspire our next generation of literary icons (today's
students!) to share their own.
