Session Description
Learn how we implemented technology-infused literacy rotations with a sixth grade reading group. Incorporating iPod Touch applications, engaged and motivated students to become better readers, writers, and listeners.

District 279 Foundation Grant
We were awarded a District 279 Foundation Grant in the spring of 2010 to get 20 iPod Touches for use in our 6th Grade classrooms.
Thus began our journey to effectively and discreetly integrate them into our students daily learning activities....

Why Concentrate our Technology Integration Efforts on Literacy?• Students who are not excited about reading are
often excited about technology.
• We increase student motivation and engagement by using technology tools to build literacy skills.
• Improving our students reading abilities is a school-wide priority.
• Literacy and Technology are closely tied to each other in today's media-dominated culture.

Read to Someone
We have also had students record their own reading and listen to it. This helps the students become aware of how they sound to others when they read. They can practice a passage multiple times until they get it just right using a voice recorder on the iPod Touch.
