Special Initiatives: The iPod Touch Daily 5 ILF Project

Title: The iPod Touch Daily 5 ILF Project
Description:
The goal of this project is to assist students in increasing their independence, stamina and learning achievement  within the Daily 5 program through accessing content via iPod Touch devices.  

Student performance will be measured by observation, rubric , student self assessment and assignment performance. Students will be able to use an iPod Touch during all components of Daily Five rounds.  Students can access the voice recording feature to read with fluency and expression for a future audience in Read to Others, access ebooks  and online materials for Read to Self, listen to peer or professionally created audiobooks for Listen to Reading, use many free fun game style applications (apps) to complete Word Work and enter text for Work on Writing.  

The target group for this project is global.  Enrichment students can benefit from more challenging apps and materials and Accommodated or Modified students can find more appropriate materials.  An example, is an accommodated student who has poor decoding skills being able to view either an ebook with audio or have a hard copy of the text while listening to the audio book which they could not read independently.
