Educational Leadership:Reading to Learn:Can't Get Kids to Read? Make It Social - 45 views

  • "How can we possibly teach reading when our kids just won't read?"
  • classrooms are one of the only text-driven environments that our students experience. Beyond school, U.S. students spend most of their time with media consuming digital information from televisions, radios, and computers. Much of this electronic information is visual or is processed passively, in small bites.
  • So how can you drag the wayward brains in your classroom back to deeper reading? Begin by recognizing that today's students are driven by opportunities to interact with one another. Conversations—whether they are started on Facebook, through text messages, or in the hallways—play a central role in adolescents' lives. Understanding that participation is a priority, the best teachers create social reading experiences and blur lines between fun and work.

  • One great tool for creating social reading experiences is Diigo
  • Social bookmarking applications like Diigo help my classes explore interesting texts and get students reading actively. As students highlight parts of the text they find compelling and add comments in onscreen threaded discussions, they challenge the thinking of their peers and even of the author.
  • To structure substantial conversations instead of reactive chatter, I defined five specific roles (listed in the Shared Annotation Roles section of the Digitally Speaking site referenced above) for students working in shared annotation groups.
  • Tools such as Diigo are fundamentally changing the reading experience—and effective teachers must adapt to keep their students engaged.

    Those of you that have tried out Diigo with middle/high school students, how do you address concerns about the accessibility it presents to unknown users? I noticed students can easily wander into other groups, including some in the "Romance & Relationships" category that sound very inappropriate. I would love to use Diigo with students, but I worry that encouraging use of this tool could be construed as condoning some of these inappropriate/risky areas and present a liability issue. Your thoughts?
