Reading 2.0
This document summarizes a presentation on using online tools to improve reading comprehension. It discusses how tools like electronic books, podcasts, VoiceThread, Wordia, and social networking can support reading instruction before, during and after reading. Specific comprehension strategies are outlined that each tool supports, such as developing vocabulary, building fluency, encouraging predictions, and allowing students to summarize and synthesize what they've read. The presentation concludes by announcing an upcoming seminar on visual literacy.
