21st-Century Literacy:  Integrating Technology into the Content-Area Reading and Writing
August 1, 2012
8:00-2:30
Facilitator:  Jennifer Thompson
$80.00

Students constantly communicate through blogging, texting, Twittering, and online message boards. Aside from the annoying acronyms and lowercase letters that habitually surface in students’ writing for school, technology can be a powerful tool for immersing students in curricular content.

We know that students are more engaged when allowed the opportunity to read, write, and communicate in the classroom using technology. Integrating technology into what we teach might seem intimidating, but with the variety of free, easy-to-set up-and-implement tools available online, teachers can immediately incorporate them into daily instruction.

At the same time, we can teach literacy skills that enrich students’ knowledge and understanding of content, teach responsible online discourse, improve their formal writing skills . . . and banish lowercase-i from their writing once and for all.

During this workshop teachers will be introduced to and have opportunities to experiment with:

• Secure blogging sites
• Collaborative document creation, editing, and sharing
• Online reading annotation tools
• Dynamic Web content bookmarking/sharing
