Why learn how to implement technology in elementary literature?
I chose this topic to enhance my own knowledge in implementing technology in the classroom on a daily basis to help enhance literacy skills in elementary schools. I feel that most teachers do not typically use technology considering they feel as if reading from a physical book and completing a worksheet has been done for so many years and it seems to work. With this topic, I am showing how implementing technology to create new and exciting ways to teach literacy skills can enhance learning in the classroom while keeping the students engaged and interested. Not all children learn the same way, and with technology there is a chance for differentiated instruction in the classroom to help with finding the best way for students to learn.
