In class today, Emily, Bailey and I discussed several different questions as to how to incorporate educational technology into the classroom. One specific question we had, was how to use technology to teach beginner literacy learners how to expand their skills through reading and writing with technologies....here's what we've found....
1. http://www.neitec.or/reading_report/report.htm - discusses using auditory and visual programs on multimedia computers in order to do things like matching words with pictures, sounding out letters shown on the screen, followed by auditory answers, and also using online books that highlight words as their read.
2. www.leapfrogschoolhouse.com/content/funding/Early_Reading_First_Position_Paper.pdf - discusses using their technology the "LeapDesk" in a classroom setting that allows children to read with the help of auditory signals and sounds to learn new words. This website also suggests using the LeapFrog technology in groups around the classroom so that each students' knowledge can be shared within the group. They also mention the importance of using age-appropriate materials that are already packaged through the LeapFrog system.
