The April 2006 featured article is written by David L. Bruce, an assistant professor at Kent State in Teaching, Leadership, and Curriculum Studies. His is a general discussion of technology in the classroom--its successes, its problematic nature, and its connection to literacy development. Bruce shares classroom vignettes about students who, stumped with the traditional "read and write," produce freely when given a camera and editing station. He's included his rubric for video assessment as well as some video and audio clips from students. Links are available within the online article. The author concludes with a list of references and his notion of using technology for literacy development: "It is messy challenging, time-intensive, creative, and rewarding work. Stated in another way, it is what authentic learning should look like. . . .After all, these students are already wired. Shouldn't we get them plugged in?" (author/ebm)
