Principles+of+Design


 * Consider the following questions in evaluating technology-supported literacy instruction:**

To what extent does the technology-supported instruction
 * challenge the learner through opportunities of meaning making?
 * make connections with students' prior knowledge and experiences?
 * promote inquiry that is student-led and collaborative in nature?
 * promote opportunities for meaningful reading and writing across the curriculum?
 * aid students in their development as readers, writers, and critical thinkers?
 * contribute to awareness of personal responsibility as global citizens?
