There's a reason why it is hard to let go of classic reading projects - they work. At the end of the day, we need to know that students can apply the techniques they have been taught. So join us for this session, and we’ll share some options for updated reading projects that engage students using technology and the SAMR model for technology integration. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how to use the SAMR framework to shift traditional projects into updated technology integrated ones. We’ll also share several tools and templates that lend themselves to authentic assessment of reading comprehension.
