  1. Integrating Technology into the Language Arts Classroom by: Denise L. Stemmler CCSU Rdg. 598-SP03

  2. Is using technology to enhance literacy development worth it? Money Time Frustration

  3. What is Literacy? READING: from decoding to negotiating hypertext WRITING: journals, reports, multimedia presentations and more SPEAKING: conversationally or publicly LISTENING: informally or formally VIEWING: pictures, graphics, maps or the Internet

  4. Technology is..... Digital phones Wide Screen TV Computers and the Internet Electronics Aerospace travel, new modes of transportation Digital Cameras and Recorders Robotics Data Storage: CDs or DVDs Microwave cooking

  5. Technology = x Literacy New Literacy Demands!

  6. Positive Examples of Integrating Technology to Achieve Enhanced Literacy

  7. Computers and Writing.... Evidence of increased editing and revising (MacArthur, 2001) Assists writer in all phases of writing process (Kamil, 2000) When students using computers are compared to students using pen and paper, computer group produces higher quality work (Kamil, 2000) Increases audience awareness (Baker, 2000)

  8. Computers and Reading...... High School science students were found to be highly engaged in a data organization activity with the use of hypermedia software (Chen, 2003). An Australian study shows student attitudes about learning with computers effect the outcome of computer use (Tolhurst, 2002) Multimedia interpretation provides opportunities for students to see relationships and generate questions that allowed them to develop deeper understanding of characters and their motivations (Smagorinski, 1998). . . . . . . . .and more

  9. Computers and Reading...... Research with a toddler comparing the use of traditional books vs. multimedia books showed that both promoted early acquisition of the purposes of reading and the elements involved in learning how to read, but multimedia text increased letter recognition skills by focusing the child on print (Smith, 2001). AND…..

  10. Computers and Reading...... MULTIMEDIA TEXT PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIFFERENTIATION OF INSTRUCTION

  11. Cultural Diversification building background knowledge struggling readers at risk

  12. INTEGRATION building a literary environment Inquiry-based projects

  13. Computer-based cognitive assessment programs provide more precise results than conventional cognitive tests.

  14. The downside of Utilizing Technology to Achieve Enhanced Literacy

  15. Computers and Writing.... It is sometimes difficult to measure individual student ideas (Baker, 2000). Without direct instruction from teacher, there was little or no difference in student writing when using computers as compared to pen and paper (MacArthur, 2001).

  16. Computers and Reading...... Some studies do not show gains in technology-based reading instruction over traditional reading instruction for non at-risk students (Nicolson, 2000) (Balajthy, 2000)(Page, 2002). In the absence of any instruction, computer-based programs are found to be more enjoyable by the study participants, but produce similar results as text-based programs (Kuehner, 1999). Many studies are new, have not been duplicated to authenticate them, and require further consideration (Oostdam, 2002).

  17. lost in the links Internet loss of efficiency

  18. Health issues include difficulty seeing text on a screen and discomfort when sitting at a computer for long periods of time

  19. Teacher complaints: No time for preparing integrated lessons (Karchmer, 2000) No training for either teachers or students (Mills, 2003) Poor quality or quantity of equipment and no money to properly repair, maintain or purchase equipment

  20. “Promoting literacy and promoting technology need not be separate realities.” - Labbo (1999) The fusion of technology and instruction is the key.

  21. Is using technology to enhance literacy development worth it? THAT IS NOT THE QUESTION!!!!!!

  22. How can we as educators make it worth it?
