Through our case study, I came to find that online reading websites can help support student reading at various levels. It also helps meet the needs of diverse learners by including larger amount of reading passages meeting different interests and backgrounds. ]]> 2018-01-26 01:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_elford/dyqln6jsvnd3/wish/224915595 morgan_elford https://padlet.com/morgan_elford/dyqln6jsvnd3/wish/224915805 What programs or ideas are there to help integrate education technology at the elementary level? Especially in transitional kindergarten to second grade.

Can technology be used at these levels as more than just reinforcement or entertainment?

For our intervention, we were able to use Starfall to aid in reading fluency intervention. This website has passages that include tracking and read-alouds to help students practice their reading and model it after a fluent reader.]]> 2018-01-26 01:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_elford/dyqln6jsvnd3/wish/224915805 morgan_elford https://padlet.com/morgan_elford/dyqln6jsvnd3/wish/224915974 What evidence is available to help educators determine if the use of technology has a positive impact on young learners?

What should an educator be looking for within their own process to determine whether or not their technology integration has been successful in a way that traditional paper and pencil teaching wouldn't be?

I learned that it is very difficult to determine if the technology integration is more successful than traditional intervention strategies. However, I was able to notice that students were more excited and motivated to participate than I had seen in the past.]]> 2018-01-26 01:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_elford/dyqln6jsvnd3/wish/224915974 morgan_elford https://padlet.com/morgan_elford/dyqln6jsvnd3/wish/224917028 What programs are available that include differentiation while still targeting the same overall goal or standard?

I did not come to find out any additional information in this area. However, I did see how I can use some of the programs I already have access to to differentiate.]]> 2018-01-26 01:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_elford/dyqln6jsvnd3/wish/224917028 morgan_elford https://padlet.com/morgan_elford/dyqln6jsvnd3/wish/224917415 Can technology help assess student's reading abilities in a accessible way?

Aside from voice-overs, what can technology do to help young readers with comprehension?

I learned that we can include technology components to help students practice their reading fluency. Using online reading passages, we can add some levels of autonomy to student reading intervention minimizing the need for one on one student-teacher time.
