Journeying through the inquiry stages to understand more about literacy and technology is very easy when it is broken down into sections: ask, access, analyze, apply, and assess.
Ask: Why is technology so important to literacy in the 21st century? How can it help our students succeed?
Access: Relevant information to the topic should come from trusted sites, such as Scholastic.com, Reading.org, American Library Association, and others.
Analysis: Review you information. Scholastic, Reading.org, and the ALA all have great information on their sites.
Applying: using the information you have learned, you could easily apply it see how it works with your students. Allow a small group of kids to use a reading app on a tablet during their free time and see if you can notice any difference in their attention span and/or interest level in the subject matter.
Assess: Did the students learn just as well using technology as the "traditional" way? Did they do better? Did they do worse? How can I chance this activity to suit the needs of my students?
