This article is from the Reading Research Quarterly and was published by the International Reading Association. The title of the article is “Enhancing Adolescent Literacy Achievement through Integration of Technology in the Classroom.” This article looks at 7 areas for further research to improve adolescent literacy that are of interest for policymakers. The seven areas are (1) state-offered virtual courses and delivery systems, (2) communication tools, (3) artificial intelligence, (4) word processors, (5) new literacy practices, (6) professional development, (7) technology for parents. The article discusses Connecticut’s education system, but the same can be true for New York. The reason I chose this article is because many of the areas discussed have significance to this course. The article points out that we need to adapt our teaching styles to the way students learn best. A growing number of students communicate using technology in their everyday life, and teachers need to utilize these technologies in their classroom. Reading this article further supports the use of technology in ELA classrooms.
Great article! Thank you for sharing. I hope every reads this article.
