New+Lit+Tech+Tools

This will be the page where you will post link(s) to the tool and any related resources for your ** New Lit Tech Tool (NLTT) Presentations **. The groups and presentation dates will follow below. Beside the word tool, you will want to add the tool you plan on presenting (once approved by Dr. Y) and then use it (or a title you create with the name of the tool) to make a wiki page where you post information, presentation materials, resources, and links related to your tool presentation.

Be sure you consult the prep sheet for seminar 5 and the rubric provided in seminar 4 for specific details and requirements for your presentations! Briefly, your group will //**1) introduce the tool**// and orient your peers on how it works and how to use it; //**2) demonstrate the process for using the tool**// and give your peers an opportunity to practice with the tool themselves; and //**3) provide an application, a contextualized example**// for how your tool could be used to engage students in learning content in a middle school ELA or SS course.

The reading for seminar 4 may provide you with ideas for tools as well as ways to think about applying them.
