Session Title: 
Using 21st Century Skills to Engage Readers and Monitor Comprehension

 

Session Description: One of the most dreaded words in school for students is book reports. So, how can we as teachers continue to monitor our students’ understanding of reading material without killing the love of reading? Enter technology. Technology can help build excitement, creativity & ownership while still displaying students' understanding of reading. We can use rigorous standards and write creatively using technology. This presentation offers background information and resources for educators to use within their classes and lessons to help students be more engaged in their reading response activities without killing the love of reading. These resources can help promote, grow and maintain a love of reading.
