Ohio English teacher uses technology to her advantage
Karrie Brown, English teacher at Pioneer Career and Technology Center in Shelby, Ohio, figured out a way to get students who previously failed English classes to be interested in the subject. She used a program called Read 180, a reading intervention program that looks and feels like MySpace and Facebook, integral social networks for most American teens. Using Read 180, Brown facilitates differentiated learning for reading and writing through a Wiki, a collection of Web pages and other documents that can be created and edited individually or collectively on line. In the name of English Language Arts, Brown’s students post pictures, research projects, thoughts and questions on Wikispace.
