Inspired by the potential of present-day technology to enhance students’ academic experiences, a second-grade public school teacher and a public university teacher educator in the Northwest USA explored the impact of e-readers and e-books on emerging readers’ engagement in reading and literacy achievement. Their project included (1) discussion surrounding the need to help children become literate and facets that impact student engagement and achievement; (2) pedagogical facets related to technology integration; (3) stakeholders’ beliefs about technology integration; (4) evaluation of the process of, and necessary supports for, integrating technology in classrooms; and (5) discussion of issues surrounding the successful incorporation of e-readers into a literacy program. This chapter introduces the study’s rationale, framework, research questions, methodology, data, findings, and conclusion. |
