constant ascent, based on individual needs.

The Past (or is this the present?)

Students should not look like this in class!

Reading as a struggling reader

Being read to…

Struggling to read by yourself…and getting frustrated

Reading with technology assistance…

ISTE – Conduct research and use information

ISTE• Education Technology has a positive effect on student achievement. ISTE

members have monitored research on the effectiveness of technology in education on student outcomes for more than 20 years, and one convincing trend has emerged: when implemented appropriately, the integration of technology into instruction has positive effects on student achievement.

• The integration of education technology provides students with 21st century skills. In using technology for instruction and learning, students gain more than just knowledge in core subject areas — they also acquire skills necessary to be productive and competitive in the workplace, in higher education, and in military or community service. ISTE, the State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA), and the Partnership for 21st Century Skills have identified these as the abilities to “communicate, collaborate, analyze, create, innovate, and solve problems.”
