Timeline

Research in the use of blogging in the reading classroom will consist of a nine-week period. There will be a time of reading each day until the chapter book //Number the Stars// is completed. There will be a pretest after segments of the book have been read and then discussion questions will be answered and blogging will take place in one of the classrooms. After the questions have been answered the students will be given time to complete a posttest to assess comprehension. This will take place periodically throughout the reading of the chapter book. Time will be taken to analyze the data collected to reveal the effect of technology integration in the reading classroom.
