  6. “Technology is a natural vehicle for Toolkit’s active literacy practices.” “When we begin our technology journey by grounding it in time-tested comprehension instruction, we ensure that our use of technology is meaningful and authentic. We help students see the natural links between the strategies they use in print text and the strategies they need to use when navigating the vast, digital world. Offering them many opportunities to practice these strategies in new contexts help them transfer and apply their learning across subjects and in new and creative ways.” -Stephanie Harvey, Ann Goudvis, Katie Muhtaris, and Kristin Ziemke
