Week 12 Assignment #1


As a teacher I welcome technology in my classroom. I believe that technology in the classroom is not only necessary to engage students, but it is an essential tool for the future. Being that there exist many technological tools that can help teachers prepare curriculum and students achieve desired goals, I feel that educators must embrace the opportunity. Since literacy is such an integral subject, educators must harness technology and use it to promote the learning of literacy. The web is full of wonderful applications which can be used to help students learn the English language. some of the technological tools I would use in my classroom is having students create and communicate through blogging. I would have my students keep their work organized in an E-portfolio. When teaching Literacy, I would have students create digital stories and I would also use various publishing tools like PowerPoint, Jing and Prezi.

I believe that students and teachers stand to gain a lot when integrating technology to promote Literacy.

While assessing the student I first had her read me a list of words and then read to me two short passages. We used the results to determine where to place the students for reading groups . My impression of QRI-5 is that it is an assessment method worth using since it assesses the vital skills in literacy.
