Technology in Literacy Instruction Prezi

Assignment #2

Digital literacy is a major component of literacy instruction in today’s classrooms.  Students should be able to write with not only text but audio and video as well.  Digital storytelling is an emerging form of literacy.  The ability to hear and see a story simultaneously helps students develop fluency and better understand content.  Some resources such as iMovie, Podcasts and other audio and video devices allow students to record themselves telling a story and/or presenting their work.  Since students live in a world consumed by technology it is important to bring that into the classroom in order to capture and maintain their interest.  The most obvious forms of technology used in the classroom are word processors, IWB’s, and presentation software.  Most classroom use these resources to present content to students and to share student work.  I cannot imagine my classroom without these.  Other invaluable resources include blogs, Google Docs, and presentation tools such as Smore and Prezi.   It is important for teachers to familiarize themselves with the available technologies and to teach their students to use them appropriately.  I feel like instruction is lacking without some sort of technology component.  Although there are teachers who can effectively teach without the aid of technology I think technology improves any lesson tremendously.  Students are excited to share learning experiences that involve digital and interactive content.  As a teacher I am just as excited as my students are when I find and/or test out a new technology resource.
