2 Students from less affluent homes who attend less affluent schools have less time on the computer and thus less time to develop computer facility such as typing and searching savvy. #ohedchat
5.1 No research I know of has shown a boost from technology so I no answers I trust. There are equity issues here too. While nearly all students have some type of computer in their home, they don’t all have equal access. #ohedchat

4.1 Weekly cross subject grade level meetings devoted to teachers sharing assignments, reasons for it and student work samples from it. The Instructional Practice Guide or IPG on achievethecore.org is helpful. #ohedchat @achievethecore

Q4: How can teachers support each other in working with literacy? #ohedchat

3 Hundreds of topics to choose from, excellent for quick write responses or extended ones. Lots of science, history, arts. #ohedchat

2 This helps develop writing fluency ESPECIALLY if done across the content areas. ReadWorks (grew out of curriculum from school ML & I started in Harlem) has article a day sets (five connected articles are read, one a day). #ohedchat @ReadWorks

3.1 I also believe in quick writes as in the Collins writing program. Every day teachers ask a quick question/not graded/not great writing, just thoughts on paper, /- 5m in response to that question. #ohedchat @JohnCollinsPUSD

RT Q3: What strategies can teachers use to meaningfully support reading/writing across the content areas? #ohedchat

#ohedchat In as study of which professions did the most reading , first was lawyers but second was scientists. Most find this very surprising but there are literally hundreds of thousands of journ als and they get read

3 This does not get the attention it deserves but work in the ‘90’s showed that high schools that did cross disciplinary writing systematically got improved outcomes on test scores. #ohedchat

2 As someone now doing lots of writing I can attest that NOTHING solidifies understanding as well as writing! So it needs to be part of all content areas. #ohedchat
