Reading in the Digital Age. China 2012sandrasawaya
As e-readers and other digital tools rise in popularity, the act of reading has been changing in tangent. This presentation highlights the different strategies for reading print text and digital text. The affordances of the web and other technologies are also discussed. The presentation concludes with describing how reading print text is traditionally assessed and ends with thoughts on how reading in the digital age could be assessed.
I created this slideshow to accompany my presentation on reading comprehension at Notre Dame AmeriCorp's Mid-Year Conference. Lots of tips for metacognition, activators, and summarizers. Based on the book by Ellin Oliver Keene and Susan Zimmermann.

Here are some applied theories educators use in helping pupils who struggle in reading. As future teachers, education students learn them. Further, parents and guardians as well as private tutors who have no formal training in education can learn and use them in their roles in the education of future of the society.

If Your Students Can Google the Answer, You May Be Asking the Wrong Question
Thanks to ubiquitous digital information devices, finding the answer to most questions is only an Internet search away. Now more than ever, we must teach our students to be critical consumers of the information that they encounter, and we must reinvest ourselves in posing questions that involve application and synthesis.

Since the dawn of the computer revolution, the promise of PERSONAL Computing has been ever present. Yet, when we simply leave students to their own devices, technology can serve to depersonalize their experiences. This is especially true of their educational experiences. Meanwhile, as teachers we struggle to effectively manage truly differentiated learning environments. However, this need not be the case. Together, we will explore the possibilities and potential afforded by today’s technology and empower you to utilize technology resources to make learning personal, meaningful, and differentiated for today’s connected students.

Geek. Nerd. Dork. Dweeb. All terms that were once derogatory and served to alienate and ridicule highly intelligent individuals who are passionate about specific areas of interest. Yet, in 2015, these have become terms of empowerment to a great number of gifted students and a source of true pride. This session begins by examining the origin and evolution in the portrayal of stereotypes in popular culture while exploring the differences between each of these terms. From there, we will explore a collection of powerful online tools and resources for the geeks and nerds in your life. Come and GET YOUR GEEK ON!
Reading for life - Matsumoto JALT PAN-SIG Conference Presentationgiuseppedias
This PPT accompanied a presentation given by Joseph Dias and Gregory Strong at the JALT PAN-SIG Conference in Matsumoto Japan on May 21, 2011 in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
As most of our students now are digital natives who prefer YouTube to Hugo, Facebook to Fitzgerald , and Twitter to Twain, it’s difficult to have them attend to texts longer than status updates. The speakers will discuss ways of inviting students to become lifelong learners by making reading relevant.
The speakers discussed the groundwork for a reading curriculum revision project in an English Department of a Japanese university by presenting the results of their investigation of current teaching practices, along with an exploration of all aspects of their students' reading: both in the L1 and L2, online and off, mobile and static, for pleasure and required, current and projected. The project began with a thorough needs analysis (Brown, 1995; Richards and Rogers, 2001) that involved focus groups, classroom observation, and the administration of online surveys to students, reading teachers, and upper division content course instructors. Particular attention was focused on how reading instruction could be made relevant to digital natives and how the practice of reading could be made into a habit and carried beyond the temporal and physical confines of school life.
This powerpoint presentation outlines the culminating academic inquiry project. This project focused on helping students develop literacy goals for themselves.
Doing better things: transforming how we use Turnitin for learningJisc
Students have an increasing expectation for academic interactions via the same all-pervasive technologies they use socially. How to marry this need for digital engagement with the rigours and expectations of the assessment process is a challenge faced by many institutions.
Beyond being a mechanism for managing academic misconduct Turnitin, via Feedback Studio is increasingly being adopted by institutions as a tool for Electronic Management of Assessment (EMA) in order to address this challenge.
Learn how technology is engaging and empowering students in the assessment process through innovative approaches to providing constructive and timely feedback beyond a tick or a cross.
Superheroes and the gifted often possess virtues like compassion, altruism, and a sense of justice. Hope for the future relies not on superheroes miraculously saving the day but instead on empowering today’s gifted kids to conquer the problems of tomorrow. This session compares gifted youth to superheroes and examines the type of support necessary for their own hero’s journey.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

In fact, practitioners and researchers agree on a number of reading strategies that is usually between 5 and 7. It is good to see how much these three align.
Here is an example showing how, along with literary device instruction, reading comprehension strategy instruction is embedded into the bookmarks. Not all bookmark questions correspond to just one reading strategy. Also, the question may

The change in the data is not statistically significant, so the STAR Test data indicates that the SEM-R neither increases nor decreases students’ reading assessment scores. The next step that researchers will take involves analyzing the qualitative data to look for possible trends in changes in self concept as a reader and motivation to read and compare to individual STAR Test scores
