This article presented 3 real life vignettes about how various educators used technology to help struggling readers. I really liked that these ideas were actually used and put in practice so that educators reading the journal can use them in their classrooms.
The third story about Mark, a literacy teacher who is called for help with a tutoring program. The program received funding to purchase computers, a library, and other technology devices. Mark was contacted by the head of the program, because although they had access to this technology, they felt that it was not being used to best benefit the students. This is a usual case where owning the technology does not guarantee improvements in achievement. It is so important for teachers to take classes like the ones we are teaching, so that when technology is made available, it can be used to actually improve the achievement of students.
