1. Three things I learned in this chapter...
1. Electronic publishing projects can be used to encourage student writing. Students can spend time writing when they writing when they know their work will be displayed on a website or somewhere where others will see.
2. Students can use inspiration concept maps to understand texts and novels. Students can use these maps to understand concepts, connect themes and show ideas in literature and texts.
3. Issues in the English and language arts instruction include expanding the definition of literacy and exploring new instructional practices. Other issues include making decisions on keyboard instruction and creating social learning environments for students.
Two connections for my teaching...
1. As a future English and language arts teacher, I can use electronic outliners to generate headines and subheadings. Students can use outliners to outline main concepts and ideas of literature, or for help writing a paper.
2. I can also use talking books to help pique students interests and engage them in non traditional learning. Interactive storybooks and electronic books can scaffold students and help draw them into reading activities.
One question I have about the reading is...
1. How easy are these resources for teachers to obtain for teaching classes? If the school only has one computer, these resources would be very hard to use.
