Since I work with at-risk/ struggling students, I want to find if this will lead to more success for them. Though there are many online resources for students, I will mostly focus on Raz-Kids because this program was implemented last year in my school. ]]> 2016-09-13 23:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/123633976 Testimonials on Raz-Kids  annaaccetta113 https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/123635142 "I have some students that didn't like to read and struggled reading. ...[H]earing the story first diminished some anxiety that my struggling readers had. With my higher reading students they tend to read but not really read for meaning. Raz-Kids asks them questions at the end and stops them. This allows them to think about what they are reading and reinforces comprehension."

Shari Butler, Kelsi Urrutia, Anneta Buenger and Maria Hunt grouped their studies by area of research interest; one of them being 'technology-assisted instruction'. Through the use of technology applications, results showed that comprehension received the largest increase in effect size. ]]> 2016-09-14 23:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/123934353 annaaccetta113 https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/123939680 “In a traditional school environment, you’re given a textbook and told not to write in it at all. And this is really counter-intuitive to what we want kids to be able to do in the real world,” he said. “We want them to write all over the things that they’re reading.” Since allowing every kid to write on paper books would mean throwing away those books at the end of every year, the devices give kids the chance to annotate inside the document."]]> 2016-09-15 00:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/123939680 Questions: annaaccetta113 https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/123939826

Should they be taught before assuming Raz-Kids could help improve comprehension? ]]> 2016-09-17 13:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/124516441 Consent annaaccetta113 https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/124516534 Is consent from parents needed if I will be using their child's data, scores, and results throughout the research process? ]]> 2016-09-17 13:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/124516534 Time annaaccetta113 https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/124516589 I only meet with my students 3/4 times a week as a Title 1 teacher. Is that enough time to see results? Should longer block periods be dedicated to reading?]]> 2016-09-17 13:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/124516589 Resource annaaccetta113 https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/124517343 Investigating the Role of Interactive Technology ]]> 2016-09-17 14:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/124517343 Resource annaaccetta113 https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/124517952 Using E-readers and Internet Resources to Support Comprehension]]> 2016-09-17 14:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/124517952 Interventions annaaccetta113 https://padlet.com/annaaccetta113/wall_annaaccetta/wish/124524678 - Guided Reading
