Based on the best-selling book, Learning First, Technology Second, by Liz Kolb, this laminated reference guide will help teachers move from arbitrary uses of technology in their classrooms to thoughtful ways of adding value to student learning.



The guide includes: an overview of the Triple E Framework, which helps teachers engage students in time-on-task learning, enhance learning experiences beyond traditional means and extend learning opportunities to bridge classroom learning with students' everyday lives; take-away strategies for each component of the Framework; examples of technology tools with built-in characteristics of each component; the Triple E Measurement Tool to help evaluate integration of the Framework; and a guide to alignment of the Framework to the ISTE Standards for Students.



Educators need to be able to engage with readers at every level, and part of their role is to evaluate where each student lies on the continuum and to improve their skills to bring them to the appropriate level. This book is a beginner-level guide focusing on developmental reading strategies for elementary students at all stages, exploring how technology can be used to improve the skills of a wide range of readers, including beginning readers, struggling readers, reluctant readers, enriched readers, and English Language Learners (ELLs). This book will give teachers the strategies and technology they need to meet their students where they are in their personalized skill development and to move forward.
