Using Technology To Motivate Middle School Students
This article discussed how middle school students are learning more with hands on technological activities. In the article, there were several digital suggestions to bring into the classroom. These include E-Pals, WebQuests, and the use of digital portfolios.
This site addressed the connection between low motivation and classroom management. The author discussed some possible causes and solutions to this problem. There is no mention of using technology as a motivator but it is a very informative article, especially for those who are new to teaching or those that need a refresher.
This article was not so much about using technology to motivate the art student but how it can motivate the not so motivated student in any subject including math and writing. In The subject matter is not as important as the actual motivation of the child. The author sites 2 web sites. One could possibly help increase motivation and boost math skills and the other site can connect the student to other students globally.
Critical Issue: Using Technology To Support Limited-English-Proficient (LEP) Students’ Learning Experiences
This was a very interesting article for me because it discusses the LEP, or Limited English Proficient student. My school district has one of the highest LEP populations. This article does not go into detail about the types of technology to be used or even anything about art. It just seemed like a site that could be beneficial not only to my Action Research Project but to my teaching in general.
On this site, the author discussed 3 stages of technological evolution and also contained a top 10 list on reasons technology can be useful in the classroom. This article was very informative and could be very helpful to my ARP.
