Steampunk in the classroom

The National Education Association blog has an entry on using Steampunk to encourage students to read.  The post is from February, but was mentioned and linked to in an e-mail bulletin sent out today.

I don't agree with a lot of the blogger's comments (like calling the song "A Whale of a Tale" from Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea lame, or saying that steam and other punk genres are not part of science fiction), but overall, he makes some interesting points.
