    This article proves that teachers and students can benefit from the integration of technology in a foreign language classroom. As a world language teacher, I wanted to find an article that offers tools/ideas that could help me bridge the gap between the output and the input in world language class.

    This is a very interesting study that shows us that the way we have been taught to learn English influences the way teachers teach English. The study analyzes the stories of four English teachers. I chose this article because I believe that at times, the way we give instructions in the class is informed by the way we received past instructions or would like to receive instructions in the present.

    This study examines how the gender differences in class affect the student's performance. The study shows the gap between the genders due to four different reasons. You should read this article the results as are very interesting. I chose this article because one of the result shows that teachers provide instructions differently based on genders and that leads to the instructional gap between the genders in the classroom.

    A refreshing look at how reintroducing material and relearning subjects may be a necessary step, rather than a second thought. Shows significant improvement in students' comprehension of the material, due to instructor's collaboration and motivation to engage students.

  • It also underscores that replacing teachers with technology is not a successful formula. Instead, strong gains in achievement occur by pairing technology with classroom teachers who provide real-time support and encouragement to underserved students.”
  • interactive learning, use of technology to explore and create rather than to “drill and kill,” and the right blend of teachers and technology.
  • applications of technology in low-income schools typically involves a “drill and kill” approach in which computers take over for teachers and students are presented with information they are expected to memorize and are then tested on with multiple-choice questions. In more affluent schools, however, students tend to be immersed in more interactive environments in which material is customized based on students’ learning needs and teachers supplement instruction with technology to explain concepts, coordinate student discussion, and stimulate high-level thinking.

      This article informed readers how learning gaps can become extinct with the impact of technology. In the article the author provides some tips on how tech can close the gap. It also implies that good instruction produces informed learners.

    This article looks at the importance of technology use in the classrooms in the 21st century and how this technology can be used to help close learning gaps. It specifically looks at students who are "at-risk". This article addresses great points but also cautions that in order for technology to be effective, it needs to be accompanied by professional development.

    I enjoyed reading this article discuss how technology can be used to close achievement gaps, and improve learning in the classroom. I liked how the article listed recommendations for educators to use technology for risk high school youth. I think middle and elementary school educators can also find this article helpful with the mention of blended learning, which I use in my classroom as an elementary school classroom teacher.

    This article highlights a report completed by the Alliance for Excellent Education and the Staford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education in 2014. The article notes that students can make significant increases in learning and engagement through the use of technology. However, students from poor socio economic backgrounds may not have the same instruction or access to technology as those from more affluent neighborhoods. The auther then presents a list of solutions.

    I like that this article encourages a blended learning approach with technology. I think that tech is a powerful tool that needs to be paired with hands on activities for the early learners.

    A great read for teachers who have students with ADHD in their classroom! It covers basics, and specifics of how to handle these students, and how to get them to learn the most effectively they can in your classroom! Specific topics include keeping a positive environment and documenting everything the students complete in class.

    The research looks at academic gaps of low income communities. They looked at 3 factors, teacher performance, class abilities and classroom size. The researchers found that the better teaching practices significantly increased students scores, but the class abilities did not. They also found that class size was a factor. Although class size is important, teachers can not completely control that. However, this research shows that students fell into instructional gaps due to instruction that was not meeting teaching standards or not provided adequate instruction on the material.

    This blog post gives statistics that prove that students using mobile learning have increased test scores to about 20%. This blog post focuses on developing countries and it really opened my eyes to the countries outside of the United States. I always know how lucky we are with all the resources we have here, this blog post reminded the importance to all students around the world with how technology can really help them.

    ICT for learning may be a trendy and popular topic as a blog on this site last week discussed, but the fact remains that children from poorer households are less likely to have access to ICT both in and out-of-school. As a result, they take longer to adapt to using the technology or hone their...
