Have you found yourself wondering...
- Why is it so hard for my students to make inferences?
- Are attention spans getting shorter?
- Are we reading more or less than we used to?
- Does anyone read the emails you send them?
We'll answer these questions and more, as we delve into the ways technology is changing not only
what we read, but
how we read.
We’ll explore the different deep reading skills required when reading digitally versus traditionally. We’ll look at the latest fMRI research on attention, working memory, and comprehension to see how our students’ (and our own) reading brains are evolving.
Finally, we’ll examine two tools (
Seesaw Custom Activities and the Chrome extension
Read & Write) that combine traditional deep reading skills with the benefits of technology.
