Mayfield Elementary School Title I reading specialists Mrs. Kim Jones and Mr. John Swarts presented a worked entitled “Maximizing Your SMARTboard’s Potential In A Reading Classroom” at the Keystone State Reading Association (KSRA) Annual Conference on October 27 in Lancaster.
Mr. Swarts teaches grades 4 to 6, and Mrs. Jones teaches kindergarten through grade 3, both in the Lakeland School District. The teachers attended the fall 2010 conference and agreed that there was a need to present a workshop on how to use technology for reading instruction, so they submitted a proposal to conduct a presentation at this year’s conference.
“We wanted to bridge the technology of interactive whiteboards with quality literacy instruction,” Mr. Swarts explained. “We put our 11 years of combined SMARTboard experience to work and presented our proposal, which was accepted by KSRA last summer.”
As a result of their presentation, the team received several invitations from state colleges to present their workshop to future teachers who are studying education technology.
“We were grateful to have the opportunity to show how technology can be used effectively and creatively to enhance reading instruction,” Mrs. Jones stated.
