Today I heard Gail Lovely speak about technology tools for early literacy and needless to say, her presentation was delightful, delicious, Gaillovely!
The internet can be quite overwhelming and doing a simple google search for "technology resources for early literacy" can bring you hundreds of thousands of hits. Let's be honest, no one has time for that even in a 24/7 world. So, suppose you are very good at boolean searches or you know how to narrow google searches by using symbols? Now, search for "technology + early literacy" and "internet + reading"...do my results change? Not so much.
Who has time to PEEK at thousands of websites? Peak no more! Take time to PERUSE Gail Lovely's website and you will want to dig deep into it! Not only does she give fantastic links to technology enriched websites, projects based learning websites, and websites tailored for the elementary teacher; but she also gives links to basic tutorials for using technology devices and softwares to develop the skills of educators working with digital learners.
Thanks Gail! Your resources are "delighful, delicious, and de-lovely"...for the rest of you, don't forget to visit Gail Lovely's website at http://www.gaillovely.com/ ENJOY!
