13 May The importance of technology integration and how it supports ELA instruction
Technology can engage students, assess learning, and differentiate instruction. Teachers must purposefully weave technology into ELA instruction and provide multiple opportunities for students to gain proficiency using technology to navigate content.
Research technology tools, websites, and applications to create a resource to share with teachers about technology to support the planning and implementation of ELA instruction.
Use the following deliverables to complete this assignment:
· Tri-fold brochure, including documentation of resources
Utilizing the deliverable of your choice, present the following information to educators:
· The importance of technology integration and how it supports ELA instruction
· At least one tool that educators can use in planning ELA instruction
· A minimum of two tools that can be used with students throughout lessons to engage and practice ELA content
· At least one tool that can be used to provide an alternative way to assess student learning of ELA standards
· How technology helps meet the needs of diverse learners throughout ELA instruction and extends learning beyond the classroom
· At least two strategies an educator can use to model and promote digital citizenship and critical digital literacy in the ELA classroom
· How an educator can promote equal access to digital tools and mentor students in age-appropriate, safe, legal, and ethical practices when using technology in the ELA classroom
Support your assignment with 2-3 scholarly resources.
Note: This assignment may be added as an artifact to the teacher toolkit you created in ELM-555.
