My colleagues and I were able to participate in an on-going study on the affects of how technology helps students. In addition to the students being in the study for 1st grade they will be followed throughout 3rd grade.The students are placed on the computer twice a week using a program call istation. Istation provides reading instruction across the spectrum for alphabetic principle, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and phonics. Students were first assessed on every level and depending on the students score, they will receive computer based instruction. The students enjoy accessing the software when they are able to access it. I enjoy seeing my students with vigor to learn. I cannot yet say that I see the results of them using the software, but I am looking forward to seeing my student's readability increase.
