The purpose of this course is to consider how computers, video, and websites can be used to facilitate literacy development in the language arts classroom. This class is only open to teachers who are participating in the Ohio Reading Road Trip multimedia program. As an experiment in computer technology itself, this course will meet in cyberspace rather than in a classroom at Wright State University. Teachers can access the web site from home or school at their convenience.
Participants from all over the state will be in contact with other teachers in two ways. The primary contact will be a discussion group that can be accessed from the Ohio Reading Road Trip web site. Each participant will write ten weekly response journal entries about his or her classroom experiences with the Ohio Reading Road Trip materials that will be posted for other teachers to read and respond to. Each teacher will design one classroom lesson plan, involving students responding to a work of literature written by an Ohio author that may be shared with other Ohio Reading Road Trip participants.
