I believe that technology has a positve impact in the education process. We need to recognize the importance of developing these skills in students so they will be prepared to enter the workforce once they complete their schooling. By embracing and integrating technology in the classroom, we are setting students up for a succesful life outside of school.
Technology changes by the minute, and as an educator I need to keep up with the times in order to best prepare our students for this ever changing world that we live in.
Our school corporation has bought a program called ISTATION. The children would be able to get on ISTATION every day if we only had computers in our room. I run centers in my room and I could make that a center that each group of students would be able to use for twenty minutes a day during math and during reading. This would give them a "double dose" of reading instruction. They can practice on the computers as I am teaching small group guided reading. ISTATION gives them an assessment and based on the results, a report will group students according to need and prescribes Teacher-Directed Lessons (TDL's). TDL'S are designed to further remediate and or accelerate students' reading or math skills. The researched based reading assessment was developed using the No Child Left Behind Act and the National Reading Panel. The elements of the program provide information on the areas of reading development that are predictive of reading success.
By donating to our project, the students would be able to have their hands at a computer almost every day! That would be such an exciting time and just like Christmas!
