Week 4 Experience using Technology

The sad thing about my two years teaching experience was the complete lack of technology resources available. I have learned more about using technology in the classroom over the last three years taking my course requirements for Library Media Specialist. Through those courses I have designed lessons that incorporate technology like blogs, wikis, and podcasts. I did a collaboration project for a class two years ago where the group incorporated all three into a research project. It is safe to say for three years I have been learning how to incorporate technology. One of my true passions for the past two years is finding ways to incorporate my company's Electronic Reader into schools.  I wrote a research proposal two years ago and have a local school preparing to conduct a study in the winter. The goal of the project is using Electronic Readers to help struggling students with reading comprehension goals. Also to use the tools of the E-Reader for guided reading projects. I am truly excited for this upcoming project.

  1. This sounds like a wonderful opportunity to tie in technology for adaptive learning! With the change in reading level compentencies expected from Core, any addition to the learning resources for reading is awesome!

  2. What a great project! I am interested in seeing how it turns out with the struggling readers. I am sure that some of them will be eager to read with the E-Readers.
