julesteaches May 22 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Q2: Name 1 or more tools you use to support #decoding (aka translating text to sound). #assistivetech #istelitchat https://t.co/ABr9NWE4xe

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:06 PM EDT

@aekemper @BurggraafRob Ashley, so happy to have awesome #ISTE PLN leaders participating in #ISTELitChat

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@julesteaches Looking forward to hearing what tools are being used in the classroom now. #istelitchat A2

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:07 PM EDT

I am so excited for #ILA16 & then looking ahead to #NCTE16 - So many amazing conferences on the horizon #ISTELitChat https://t.co/eZhHQuK9qv

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:05 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @julesteaches Grateful to be presenting with you at #ILA16 this summer, Michele. #istelitchat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A2: I like #assistivetech like @texthelp, #audiobooks by @Learning_Ally or @Bookshare, some built-in text-to-speech tools #istelitchat

NicoleMackinder May 22 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A2: Google add ons!! #ISTELitChat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A2: Also, using podcasts & videos (preferably with closed catpioning) are good ways to get around some decoding difficulties #istelitchat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A2 | Not decoding in MS Science, typically, but I use @TigglyLearn interactives with my Pre-K tot at home. #ISTELitChat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: Google Translate although Ss did research on how inaccurate Google Translate actually is. 4Literacy use @activelylearn also #ISTELitChat

BurggraafRob May 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A2: I will on occasion have students enter text in Google translate and go from English to English so it reads the text aloud #ISTELitChat

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @activelylearn At least the tool is available. #istelitchat A2

aekemper May 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A2 | (Part 2) -- We use @Learning_Ally as well. And I'm writing a review for Co:Writer Universal that I am loving. #ISTELitChat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor What an interesting project! And yes, I've been meaning to look into @activelylearn! #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@julesteaches Audio books are excellent resources. I have been listening to so much #YALit &recommend 2 Ss often #ISTElitChat

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:10 PM EDT

I used Voice Thread with our ENLs so they could build fluency. #istelitchat A2

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @julesteaches Yes, audio tapes are ways to listen to fluent reading. #istelitchat A2

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@aekemper I would think decoding helpful to Ss in Science & History w/large vocab & concepts - you can use @EDpuzzle as tool #ISTELitChat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A2 | (Part 3?) -- Recently discovered @ClaroScanPen which scans a printed paper & reads it aloud: game changer for #dyslexia #ISTELitChat

kaleistern May 22 @ 9:12 PM EDT

I've been using podcasts too. Also finding pretty creative stories via @TheMoth & ofcourse @YouTube #ISTElitchat https://t.co/uPHVUbWT1u

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A2: Also, using podcasts & videos (preferably with closed catpioning) are good ways to get around some decoding difficulties #istelitchat

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor We need to speak about #ILA16. #istelitchat

BurggraafRob May 22 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: Also have students record their voices when they use Book Creator so others viewing their book get the audio accompaniment #ISTELitChat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@julesteaches Do you have any #podcasts that you use regularly with your Ss? #ISTELitChat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Yes, feedback helpful for dictation! Some word prediction tools do that, like Co:Writer & WordQ #istelitchat https://t.co/iqyvAG0Xng

BurggraafRob May 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A2: I will on occasion have students enter text in Google translate and go from English to English so it reads the text aloud #ISTELitChat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@kaleistern sounds wonderful. Weather has been fickle in NY these past weeks. Looking forward to summertime #IStelitchat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Love the idea of student-created #audiobooks! I've tried a bit & have colleagues who've done this! #istelitchat https://t.co/xAYuTOakCN

BurggraafRob May 22 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: Also have students record their voices when they use Book Creator so others viewing their book get the audio accompaniment #ISTELitChat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Awesome @BurggraafRob! We've use the MyStory App sort of the same way. S creation + practice = powerful. #ISTELitChat

NicoleMackinder May 22 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@BurggraafRob this is an excellent idea given I am a language teacher. Strengthens speaking, listening, and reading skills #ISTELitChat

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Has anyone used Wonderopolis ? There is a listening button. Fabulous site to build inquiry and wonder. #istelitchat A2

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Great idea, for Ss to create their own audio books. I use a lot of podcasting w/Ss #ISTElitChat https://t.co/9ScPvXrpAD

aekemper May 22 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@cvarsalona We LOVE @Wonderopolis! They presented with us at #ISTE2015 -- Great resource! #ISTELitChat https://t.co/Dgddf6KK5l

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Has anyone used Wonderopolis ? There is a listening button. Fabulous site to build inquiry and wonder. #istelitchat A2

aekemper May 22 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A3 | Part 1: @quizlet gets overused. My Ss love it, and use it (1/2 the battle) but can't always transfer vocab practice. #ISTELitChat

BurggraafRob May 22 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A3: Mindomo app for vocabulary webs branching off root words…can imbed images to illustrate text as well #ISTELitChat

NicoleMackinder May 22 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A3: quizlet app: pros - Ss make their own lists and so do I, games involved, easy access; cons - can get boring! #ISTELitChat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A3: Seems like @activelylearn does vocab, too! @Flocabulary can be useful & Google Drawings for student-made webs, pics,etc. #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@cvarsalona I haven't used the listening button on @Wonderopolis but love the site & use it many ways w/Ss #istelitChat

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@Wonderopolis https://t.co/oqZdsenbFq There is Camp Wonderopolis to build wonder over the summer. #istelitchat A2 https://t.co/W5WFh0nHOA

NicoleMackinder May 22 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@aekemper @cvarsalona @Wonderopolis will try!! Thanks for the idea! #ISTELitChat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@aekemper @quizlet I agree but have Ss make their own @quizlets on MS level and the learning is in their own hands #ISTElitChat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3 | Part 2: For my low lang Ss, we use https://t.co/G72VokPZio almost exclusively. + @poppletny for science word study #ISTELitChat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@julesteaches @activelylearn @Flocabulary Yes, @activelylearn will define words 4Ss &Tscan see where word gaps. Great tool #ISTELitChat

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @Wonderopolis I am attending a retreat in June as @Wonderopolis' Wonder Lead Ambassador. More info will follow. #istelitchat

kaleistern May 22 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3 use @quizlet often and Ss especially like #QuizletLive! Vocab & root word practice went well this year. #ISTElitchat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor Even when Ss make their own they memorize > learn. Missing connection to new situations #ISTELitChat https://t.co/k4aoTqc8xX

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@aekemper @quizlet I agree but have Ss make their own @quizlets on MS level and the learning is in their own hands #ISTElitChat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@polleverywhere for Vocab w/Ss. At beginning of year use @Flocabulary 4teaching Context Clues. I want Ss 2b word detectives #ISTELitChat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: Also interesting to use Google Drawings or @padlet to do vocab categories (w/ pics a bonus) to see thinking about concepts #istelitchat

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@aekemper @Wonderopolis Great. @Wonderopolis has Wonder Lead Ambassadors as of this spring. I was named one. #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@cvarsalona @Wonderopolis Sounds great, can't wait to hear more #ISTElitchat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@BurggraafRob -- I will need to check that out! #ISTELitChat https://t.co/A9IjrFCFUo

BurggraafRob May 22 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A3: Mindomo app for vocabulary webs branching off root words…can imbed images to illustrate text as well #ISTELitChat

BurggraafRob May 22 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Rewordify will take text, simplify complex vocab, and still allow Ss to tap to see the original word…sometimes awkward #ISTELitChat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Application is key w/vocabulary instruction - I go back & forth w/vocabulary lists for my Ss. #ISTELitChat https://t.co/0O2BAsgOxQ

A3 @quizlet pros: high level of Ss engagement. Cons: noisy classroom where other Ts will pop in to see what's going on! #ISTElitchat

NicoleMackinder May 22 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@aekemper @TeachingFactor @quizlet that's why quiz lit can only be one piece of the puzzle -to support contextualized learning #ISTELitChat

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@julesteaches Flocabulary is said to be a great tool. https://t.co/qPwi8c1EvG Anyone using it? #ISTELitChat A3

aekemper May 22 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@kaleistern -- My Ss really like the #QuizletLive too. It gets intense! #ISTELitChat https://t.co/S5FWo2POJN

@NicoleMackinder ESL teachers used it in my district. I watched the lesson. #ISTELitChat A3

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Q4: Name 1 or more tool that you use to support reading of nonfiction texts #istelitchat https://t.co/eWCIeiG1Jb

aekemper May 22 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4 | We have LOVED @educanon123 this year. Eliminates text but practices comprehension. Process = impactful. #ISTELitChat

BurggraafRob May 22 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: Our district used @Achieve3000 for the past two or three years…made a difference where implemented well #ISTELitChat

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@Newsela and @Wonderopolis for comprehension building and discussions. #ISTELitChat A4

aekemper May 22 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4 | Part 2: We also dig @ThinkCERCA to connect reading to writing (+ major comprehension points) #ISTELitChat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Haven't used yet,but thanks for pointing out traditional reading is not necessary for learning content! #istelitchat https://t.co/ngBEjoyj2r

aekemper May 22 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4 | We have LOVED @educanon123 this year. Eliminates text but practices comprehension. Process = impactful. #ISTELitChat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4 | (One more): Our Ss still use @brainpop but I make longer comp assessments to act as their notes. #ISTELitChat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:28 PM EDT

I have 2say that @activelylearn has been my go2 tool for NF this year. Use for Article of the Week. lots gr8 things w/platform #ISTELitChat

SrtaScislowicz May 22 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A4: @Newsela is a great resource for currently, leveled, nonfiction articles #ISTElitchat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:29 PM EDT

In my sci class, we layer video comprehension and reading comprehension so that words are familiar & they can connect. #schema #ISTELitChat

A4: newsela modifies relevant news articles to appropriate reading levels, translates, and has ready-made quizzes #ISTELitChat

@NicoleMackinder Yes, @Newsela is good for differentiation by reading levels, don't you have to pay for that? #ISTELitChat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@julesteaches I believe my Ss vocabulary development increases w/reading. Push 4 reading as key to sharpen all literacy skills #ISTElitChat

cvarsalona May 22 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @NicoleMackinder @Newsela is free for basic use. #ISTELitChat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@newsela great as long as kids don't get stuck in 1 level... have them read lower, then ramp up #istelitchat https://t.co/6aVc0aQfW7

LeeAraoz May 22 @ 9:34 PM EDT

#ISTELitchat @Flocabulary is an awesome tool. My Ss LOVE the videos! 6th Grade Vocabulary - The Date https://t.co/iNpi3Pwg4G via @YouTube

NicoleMackinder May 22 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @Newsela you are right. Some features are free, but others cost money. Our district invested #ISTELitChat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:36 PM EDT

#istelitchat I found this amazing Prezi to introduce the Six Signposts of Notice & Note: https://t.co/20YkPJlyYT

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Q6: What's 1 or more tool that doesn't exist yet that would support your students' reading? #istelitchat https://t.co/ihvFhLhHC4

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@aekemper Have to add NF Notice and Note also. Such great resources for teaching text #istelitchat

kaleistern May 22 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @LeeAraoz I was thinking about getting the NF version but we read a lot more fiction so thought I'd start there #ISTElitchat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A6 | Part 1: I'm looking for a tool to collect all highlighted / text engagements for Ss into one succinct page. #ISTELitChat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:50 PM EDT

#ISTELitChat is going strong tonight with invaluable #edtech tools to differentiation & support literacy across content grades & classes

LeeAraoz May 22 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor That’s awesome! I printed out bookmarks with the signposts for my students. #istelitchat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6 | Part 2: An e-reader that allows my student to drag across a word and instantly reads it aloud... for MS-level text. #ISTELitChat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:50 PM EDT

If I understand your idea, frmo internet: @diigo and @ImagineEasy may already do this. #istelitchat https://t.co/up3YDI8alJ

Wonderopolis May 22 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@aekemper Super! #ISTELitChat #ISTE2016

aekemper May 22 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@julesteaches @diigo @ImagineEasy Ah! Really!??! I will DEF need to check out. #InteractiveNotebooks for the win! #ISTELitChat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:52 PM EDT

What a great idea! In some ebooks they show you "most highlighted passages" so that could maybe model? #istelitchat https://t.co/cWKspUv4zF

BurggraafRob May 22 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6: Something that allows Ss to insert links in one text to make direct connections over to other texts they’ve read #ISTELitChat

julesteaches May 22 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Or if you want to save notes & highlights from an ebook, Google Play Books saves all in a Google Doc! #istelitchat https://t.co/uLRz2RCEwM

A6 a tool that takes the concepts and vocabulary you want to teach and locates or creates a meaningful text! A girl can dream #ISTELitChat

LeeAraoz May 22 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @GoogleForEdu @activelylearn @classcraftgame @GooseChase That would be totally awesome! #istelitchat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Ahh! Can't believe we're almost done! Last Q coming right up! #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator May 22 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@julesteaches But don't just want most highlighted passages, want Ss to think & interact w/text & add @voicethread element also #ISTELitChat

aekemper May 22 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Or one that decides for me which one works best for what I want students to do. So many great ones! #ISTELitChat https://t.co/Pb43FAXpKS
