  1. Literacy on the Move Funded by a 2009 TRC Grant Presented by Tina Conklin, ELA Teacher and Literacy Coach, Chenango Valley Middle School

  2. Project Description Using mini computers and a printer to create a Writing Lab would improve student writing by providing time and place to write, guidance while writing, and middle school student “ownership” of their work. Through my work as a Literacy Coach, I can set up opportunities for students to use the Writing Lab to improve their literacy skills as well as achievement across curricular areas.

  3. Activities • Set up a Writing Lab (by assignment or voluntarily) • Used to motivate and assist in AIS classrooms • Use across the curriculum to help students create written work • “Stations” work • CollaborativeProjects

  4. Acer Aspire One AOD250-1165 10.1" Netbook PC  • Linksys (WRT54G2) Wireless-G Broadband Router • Canon PIXMA iP3600 Inkjet Photo Printer The Equipment

  5. From November of 2009 to April of 2010 the Mini Lab was used by students over 40 times. • In addition, they were used for assignments in AIS, English, Literacy Class, and Social Studies, as well as by students with special writing needs • We were, unfortunately, unable to make them as mobile as we wanted, due to the need to use a safe.
