Supporting Teachers in Their Integration of Technology with Literacy
Moore-Hart, Margaret A.
Reading Horizons, v48 n3 p177-200 2008
This study investigates how two elementary teachers begin to use technology in a private school that had access to technology at many levels. Using a collaborative teacher-research model, the researcher specifically examined how to support teachers' practice as they integrated technology tools within their literacy curriculum. Due to a supportive context, the teachers refined their writing instruction to include technology tools, and students improved their literacy through challenging learning experiences. (Contains 4 figures.)
