  2. Our target population • Young people, ages 10-12 (though aspects of our research related to kids as young as 7) • Grades 6-8

  3. Developmental characteristics • development of metacognition, the process of thinking about one's thinking • increased curiosity, though a lack of focus • intense need to express independence • feelings of not being in control, being vulnerable

  4. Addressing low literacy Psychologist Jean Piaget’s stages of cognitive progression point to the importance of sound development at each stage. Cognitive dysfunction, which impairs literacy and, therefore, learning, in this population can be explained by: • dyslexia • difficulty with phonological processing

  5. Addressingself-esteem An engaged student is a more successful student. Ways to encourage this include: • facilitate self-directed learning • provide structure with room for individuality • include students in shaping their educational experience

  6. Addressing analytical thought As abstract thought processes develop, assistance is needed in shaping communication of those thoughts, such as: • a process for note taking • a scaffolding for building well-reasoned writing

  7. Our tool The Dynamic Notebook • uses a familiar format: the tabbed notebook • uses a favorite medium: the Web
