Integrating Technology Into a Reading Program - Shawna White May, THE Journal

Being a teacher is a difficult job. You often have more than 25 students in your classroom and several different learning styles. In addition, it is your responsibility as a teacher to reach all of the students. How is this achievable? I believe this can be made possible through the use of instructional technology - a combination of the everyday processes and tools needed to address those educational problems with an emphasis on integrating the technology tools that are now available. Instructional technology does not mean that the teacher uses the computer to keep his or her gradebook or create worksheets, and it does not mean that the teacher is the only one using the technology. It means that the teacher is using numerous types of technology to enhance what the students are learning. Therefore, the students are the ones who should be engaged using the technology.
