Literacy+and+Technology

Check out my blog: [|Of Mice and Pupils.] I focus on ways to use technology in the classroom, by providing links to great resources such as [|Techlearning.com] and discussing issues that educators may have when incorporating technology into the classroom. SMART Boards are a main focus of my blog, as they are one of the newest and most exciting technological tools.

Incorporating technology into the classroom is often an overwhelming task. The Internet offers vast resources and it is often a challenge to weed through them. [|Teachnology.com] offers an abundance of well organized lesson plans, including website links to help both teachers and students. The websites, lesson plans and worksheets are organized accorded to subject area, making it even easier for teachers to navigate through them and find the one most suitable for their classroom instruction.


 * For Students** : 

[|Starfall.com] is a website which contains a wealth of phonics games, comics, movies and more for young readers. Students can watch a movie about the sounds of the letters or play a game to make the word "bat" by dragging a "b" to match "at." Students will not even realize they are learning while having fun on this website.
