Klappentext zu „Technology and Language Arts Education “
The University of British Columbia as well as many of the secondary schools in Vancouver, B.C. have invested in the potential of technology. Research reveals, however, that even when there is sufficient access, far too many English teachers are reluctant to use technology as a teaching/learning resource. Perhaps this is because of concerns about appropriately integrating technology into their classroom praxis. This 3 months study explores how three English teachers at an urban secondary school in Vancouver experienced the use of technology in their classrooms. Qualitative methods were used to generate, analyze and report data. Data collection included formal and informal discussions, interviews, extensive field notes and the observation of classes. This study discloses the factors that have most significantly facilitated and inhibited the implementation of technology in their classrooms. This research also provides an account of these teachers\' perspectives of how teacher preparation programs might equip pre-service teachers for the challenges and potential of integrating technology into secondary Language Arts classrooms.
Autoren-Porträt von Vetta Vratulis
Vratulis, VettaI am a Greek-Canadian born and raised in Vancouver, BC. Over the past 7 years I have had the privilege of working within the British Columbia educational system as a secondary Language Arts educator. The voices of the students I have taught continue to inform my beliefs about language and literacy education as well as the place of technology in schools. It is from their questions that I was inspired to explore the narrative voice of three Language Arts educators for the purpose of investigating how their past experiences have impacted their vision of the place of technology in schools. I am currently a doctoral candidate in Language and Literacy Education at the University of British Columbia. The focus of my doctoral work is on how particular features of digital learning technologies (DLT) allow for transformative teaching and learning, and how pre-service teachers might be introduced to DLT in ways that modify existing literacy practice.
