Generating Excitement and Higher-Level Thinking
Lisa Highfill has seen student engagement increase and higher-level thinking empowered through her use of technology to teach reading.
Here are a few tips:
1. Find or create a youtube video to introduce the book.
2. During computer lab time, have the kids respond to the book using a Google form with open ended questions.
3. Share out the thinking recorded with the class during discussions. Bridge critical thinking into independent reading.
4. Interested? I can help you with both the form and finding/creating videos. Email me: Tim Swanson
