Early literacy is critical to later success in school.
This is a critical issue for teachers and students and more study is needed to determine how different interventions and technologies can improve reading and the quality of education. The progress of these students will be compared to the progress of another classroom of students who do not have access to this program. A second aspect of this project will be to complete a video case study of two college students who plan to be teachers, and are not currently familiar with the Leapfrog technology and how it might be used in the classroom. We will explore how teaching them to use different technologies may change their attitudes to applying it within their future classrooms. It is our hope that through the video case studies and the use of Units of Practice, both of which will be posted on the CLI, we can help expand the use of technology in the classroom.
