  1. Linda Smetana, CSU East Bay Dana L. Grisham, National University Generative Technology for Literacy Learning

  2. Common Core Standards require that technology became an integrated component of instruction Many teachers have not had opportunities to experiment with incorporating technology into instruction Low achieving students are the last to have opportunities to work with technology Background

  3. Incorporate technology into a literacy based project, access core curriculum Use free programs or applications Create a product that students could ‘own’ The Charge

  28. We talked about subject, verbs and “where” words (prepositions). Students created sentences using a variety of characters, props, and scenes. Worked on creating more detailed sentences.

  29. After writing their sentence, students located scenes from Comic Creator They rewrote their sentence on a scene sheet and glued on the characters within the scene. Students went to the computer lab where they used the Comic Creator to create their page. Students recorded themselves reading their sentences and identifying the prepositions. Project Sequence

  31. Simone stressed in her reflection that in the creation of the avatars, students had discovered in “the power of their voices” and were incredibly motivated by the project. What We learned

  32. My students do not enjoy language arts. I needed to find a way that would get them excited about prepositions. My students love using the computer and many of them enjoy art. When I introduced Comic Creator they could not wait to get started. Reflections

  33. Technology made my students work possible; many of my students are not able to write with a pencil, however they can type or dictate their thoughts. Now they can see their thoughts in print. Reflections
