They are responsible for teaching the younger generations exposed to technology through various gadgets. This study aims to better integrate technology in teaching writing in the Foundation Phase (FP). The premise for this study is the need to integrate technology in the Foundation Phase in order to attain educational goals. A qualitative case study was conducted that involved semi-structured interviews and the draw and talk/write method to gain in-depth knowledge of integrating technology to develop writing skills. For this study, the cognitive theory of multimedia learning (CTML) and sociocultural theory of learning were used as a theoretical framework. The participants were four Grade 3 teachers and 12 learners from two primary schools. This study indicated the importance of integrating technology in teaching writing, which subsequently led to more positive learning experiences for the FP learners. The study,Äôs key finding is that FP teachers are technologically illiterate. As a result, it is suggested that a set of curriculum guidelines based on the interests of this generation of learners be produced to enable teachers and students in successfully integrate teaching and technology in the FP.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology serves as a bridge to more engaged, relevant, meaningful, and personalized learning for students" (enGuage p.10). The question becomes how do teachers integrate technology into the learning process. Teachers have different levels of expertise in the use of technology in their classrooms. With increased pressure from standards that state that technology should be imbedded to all of the curriculum and not separate from it, teachers themselves are now having to learn how to integrate technology into their classroom instruction. This study will focus on the specific area of writing. This study will examine the instructional strategies teachers are using in regards to technology and the writing process. This case study will look specifically at elementary school 4th and 5th grade teachers. This case study will be conducted by interviews, observations and, focus groups. The teachers will be interviewed because "I am interested in other people's stories" (Seidman, 2006, p. 7). When examining a teacher's praxis, the researcher is "interested in understanding the lived experience (Seidman, 2006, p. 9). For this study, the teacher's experience is the focus. "In qualitative research, you ask open-ended questions so that participants can best voice their experiences unconstrained by any perspectives of the research or past research findings" (Creswell, 2008, p. 225). Four themes emerged after data was coded and triangulated. First college preparation was a theme that was quite evident. Professional development was a large theme that was brought out. The third theme was use to technology outside of school. The final theme was the digital divide and its many facets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As digital reading has become more productive and active, the lines between reading and writing become more blurred. This book offers both an exploration of collaborative reading and pedagogical strategies for teaching reading and writing that reflect the realities of digital literacies. This edited scholarly collection offers strategies for teaching reading and writing that highlight the possibilities, opportunities, and complexities of digital literacies. Part 1 explores reading and writing that happen digitally and offers frameworks for thinking about this process. Part 2 focuses on strategies for the classroom by applying reading theories, design principles, and rhetorical concepts to instruction. Part 3 introduces various disciplinary implications for this blended approach to writing instruction. What is emerging is new theories and practices of reading in both print and digital spaces--theories that account for how diverse student readers encounter and engage digital texts. This collection contributes to this work by offering strategies for sustaining reading and cultivating writing in this landscape of changing digital literacies. The book is essential for the professional development of beginning teachers, who will appreciate the historical and bibliographic overview as well as classroom strategies, and for busy veteran teachers, who will gain updated knowledge and a renewed commitment to teaching an array of literacy skills. It will be ideal for graduate seminars in composition theory and pedagogy, both undergraduate and graduate; and teacher education courses, and will be key reading for scholars in rhetoric and composition interested in composition history, assessment, communication studies, and literature pedagogy.
