This session will clear up any confusion when it comes to integrating literacy and technology. We will provide attendees with ways to incorporate technology into daily balanced literacy routines. Participants will explore multiple iPad apps and web-based tools that can be used effectively within Reader's Workshop or your balanced literacy classroom while incorporating the 4C’s. This conversation will cover ways to incorporate technology, student choice, and rigorous standards into daily balanced literacy routines.
