How can you strategically leverages the use of technology to support student literacy learning in secondary English Language Arts? In this workshop, we will look how to purposefully choose and implement appropriate technology tools based on student learning needs and best use of time and place for learning activity types. The program will take an integrated approach to the topics of flipped learning, online reading comprehension, multimedia comprehension and composition, and digital collaborative writing. Examples of effective technology integration by local VA secondary English teachers will be featured. Participants will walk away with sample lesson/unit plans, sample student work, and their own plan for integrating technology to directly impact student literacy learning.

Facilitated by:
