Don't Fight It: Using Technology as a Tool to Increase Reading and Writing Time
Adults often complain about how technology is ruining children's study habits. Parents struggle with getting their kids to stop video games, while teachers wonder how they can get their students to read and write more outside of class. Embracing technology as a tool for reading and writing can help solve that struggle. Online resources abound that will engage children, from young ones to teens, in the processes of reading and writing. We will examine these resources together, playing with them ourselves and drawing conclusions about how we might be able to use them in our own homes.
