Technology in Middle School Reading Education: Opportunities to Transform the Classroom

Jay Blanchard, Judy Lewis, and James Crossman
Computers in the Schools, Vol. 11, No. 3, 1995, p. 79-91

The premise of this article is that today's teachers can begin to compete with the media power of the pop culture by using three categories of media technologies; multimedia, telecommunications, and word-processing/desktop publishing. The article explains how these technologies can apply to middle school reading education. Unfortunately, most schools are just beginning to implement and integrate these technologies into their curriculums, basically
because teachers, administrators, and school board members are not yet comfortable with the notion that these technologies are effective ways to help middle school students with their reading or, for that matter, with other elements of the curriculum except business education.
