My second and third grade students are the best in the world, in my humble opinion. They love active learning. We attend school in Minnesota. We are a public charter school in our 11th year of operation. Every year my students seem less engaged with the more traditional delivery of instruction. This year I have tried very hard to add more technology projects and ways to complete tasks through technology (blogging, etc.). They have become energized by the use of technology and I want to extend this excitement to reading. As I stated previously, many of my students receive Title 1 services in reading. They can spend hours connected to a video game with total recall of each move that was made. When it comes to reading, they loose interest rapidly and can't remember anything they have read. Many of them say they don't like reading! I believe they will become much more engaged in reading if they have a device like an eReader.
