Dayton Avenue School Represents ESM at 14th Annual Celebration of Technology in Education





This year Dayton Avenue School's fourth grade enrichment book discussion groups are focusing on the work of Kylene Beers and Robert Probst from the book, Notice and Note: Strategies for Close Readings.  The students reread and browsed through their book discussion selections to create infographics based on the six signposts that represent significant moments in literature.  This encourages students to read closely and question the text.  The students will be using web 2.0 tools to create the infographics and will also be blogging and commenting during discussion meetings when they come across a signpost in the text.  The creation of infographics and blogging create an online blended environment to the book discussion groups.  Congratulations to everyone involved and a special thank you to Mrs. Zambelli and Mrs. Marone for their collaboration and dedication to our boys and girls.  Boys and girls who presented at Dowling College were commended by all those who went to their presentation. Great job!
