2. Where are we headed What do skilled online readers know and what can they do? How are we learning about what online readers know and are able to do? The TICA Project (2005-2008) > Teaching/Assessment The ORCA Project (2009-2014) > Assessment Studies of Collaborative Online Reading (2009-present) How can we support developing online readers? Internet Reciprocal Teaching Practicing Productive Conversations Digital Scaffolds for Supporting Argumentation http://www.lite.iwarp.com/CoiroCritEval.html 3. The Teacher Still Matters A Lot! The role of the teacher is changing but still critical in classrooms with new technologies Make explicit the similarities and differences between offline and online reading practices Honor the literacies students bring to school from their daily lives Clarify expectations and new roles/relationships Use self, peer, and teacher assessments as inquiry to inform reading strategy use and classroom instruction Coiro, J. (2009). Promising practices for supporting adolescents online literacy development. In K.D. Wood and W.E. Blanton (Eds.). Literacy instruction for adolescents: Research-based practice (pp. 442-471). New York, NY: Guilford Press. . 4. Preparing Students to Read on the Internet What are the challenges? Asking Questions: - What would I like to know more about? - Which search words do I use?Synthesizing and Locating: Communicating - Which search tools - How do I come up with an should I use? original idea? - Where do I read first? - How do I share it with others? Evaluating: - Which link is most useful? - How do I know its true? -What is the authors purpose? 5. What do skilled readers do when faced with these online reading challenges? 6. Examples of what good online readers know I. Asking Questions I know what a really good question is. I know that revising the question, when I get new information, often makes it better. I know that I need to remember my question and not get distracted. 7. II. Reading to Locate Information... I know how different search engines work. I know simple strategies for making my search more specific. I know advanced search strategies and when they could be useful. 8. III. Reading to Evaluate Information... Understanding - I know when information makes sense to me. Relevancy - I know when information meets my needs. Accuracy - I know how to verify information with another source. 8 9. III.Reading to Evaluate Information... Reliability - I know how to tell when information can be trusted. Bias - I know that everyone shapes information and how to evaluate this. Stance - I am a healthy skeptic about online information. 10. IV. Reading to Synthesize Information... I know how to construct the information I need as I read selected information (by the links that I follow). I know which information to ignore when I read. I know how to put information together, and make inferences when it is missing, to answer my question. I know when I have my answer. 11. V. Reading to Communicate Information... I think about my audience and purpose as I read and write/create. I know how to construct a clear and unambiguous message so that the reader knows what I mean. I know how NOT to make people upset with me from the way I write/create my message. I know how to use a range of technologies to construct and share/publish my message. 12.

Teaching Internet Comprehension to Adolescents (TICA) [2005-2008] Informal Assessments: Curriculum-Based Online Information Challenges Students work in small groups to solve information problems. Exchange strategies as they do so. Debrief at the end of the lesson. Lessons designed to minimize teacher talk and maximize student engagement and strategy exchange (with small group > large group) Leu & Reinking, 2005-2008, US Department of Education 15. Teaching Internet Comprehension to Adolescents (TICA) [2005-2008] Informal Assessments: Curriculum-Based Online Information Challenges Jeopardy style blog challenges while studying biographies or sharing evaluation strategies Informational website about the Holocaust to prompt inferential reasoning from hyperlinks Wikipedia activities to share new information about respiratory scientists with a global audience Mystery email challenge to build descriptive/narrative writing skills Leu & Reinking, 2005-2008, US Department of Education 16.

Collaborative modeling of more complex skills 3. Independent Inquiry 28. Internet Reciprocal Teaching Instructional Phases Phase I Model/Practice online reading skills Cooperative learning strategies Phase II Authentic online information problems to solve Authentic communication toolsto select from and use Phase III Inquiry initially within class Then with others around the world 29. IRT: Phase I Teacher-led Basic Skills Teacher-led demonstrations of basic Internet use skills and cooperative learning strategies Explicit modeling by teacher Largely whole class instruction Mini-lessons as transition to Phase II (as quickly as possible to contextualize skills practice in an authentic problem to solve) 30. Internet Inquiry Baskets I wonderPLANNING: Collect questions and strategically pick one Over the weekend.. do a search, highlight 2-3 websites, and be prepared to model and discuss: Keywords used Search enginesused Your searching/locating process Website title and website address (URL) 31. Internet Inquiry Baskets K-2 (Part 1) MODELED READING AND GROUP DISCUSSION: Think-aloud while locating, skimming, reading Summarizing 1 The key idea is Summarizing 2 Across these sites, we found that Evaluating: The Internet helped us to learn Communicating: Compiling into a classroom book (and share with the community/library, etc.) 32. Internet Inquiry Baskets K-2 Part 2 A parent volunteer or teachers aide works with the children who asked the question Reflect on what they learned Type their answers Add their photo Publish their page Share with the class 33.

IRT: Phase II Posing Problems Within An Information Challenge Students presented with information problems to solve: Information Challenge Initially: Locating and Communicating Later: Critical Evaluation andSynthesis Work in small groups to solve those problems. Exchange strategies as they do so. In early stages, the teacher models a few approaches. Over time, students take control. Debrief at the end of the lesson. Lessons designed to minimize teacher talk and maximize student engagement and strategy exchange (with small group > large group) 36. A Phase II Information Challenge (Elementary) SKILLS: Locate, evaluate relevancy, and communicate Kids Web Japan: Work with a partner to locate an example of something that was created in Japan that is important to people living in our country. Identify this item and explain how it helps or affects Americans. Post your answers on our class Voicethread. 37. A Phase II Information Challenge (Elementary) SKILLS: Critically evaluate and communicate My family would like to take a dog friendly vacation. Are these places real or do they just want our money? Post your decision on our class blog. Site A: Dog Paddling Adventures Site B: Dog Island Site C: Camp Winnaribbun 38.

A Phase II Information Challenge (Secondary) SKILLS: Locate, evaluate relevancy, and communicate Locate the name of one American who might be considered a hero of the Civil War. Provide an explanation of what makes that person a hero. Send your partner an email with the name you located, evidence from the text that supports your opinion, and the address of the website(s) where you found the information.SKILLS: Locate, evaluate, synthesize, and communicate What is the main cause of global warming? Find a different answer to this same question. Which answer do you think is most accurate and how did you determine that it was? Post your answers on your classroom blog. Discuss solutions while exchanging online reading strategies; first in small groups and later in large groups (Apple Remote Desktop) Then begin to work across classrooms as part of Internet Project. 40. A Phase II Task in Middle School 41. Structured Inquiry Partners in Grades 3-7 Design an authentic inquiry task with an authentic response Design an informational overview page Provide a safe-search interface Include multimodal sources Provide a partner and a sequenced list of steps to move through the process 42. Structured Inquiry Task 43. Structured Inquiry Task: Overview Page 44. Structured Inquiry Partners How might these structured inquiry tasks be used to foster productive talk experiences where students co-construct and build on each others ideas (CCSS Speaking and Listening: Comprehension and Collaboration) while engaged in online reading and writing activities (CCSS Reading: Integrate knowledge and ideas; CCSS Writing: Research to build and present knowledge)? 45. Evan & William Gr. 5 Productive Talk: 7:00 Monitor understanding, request & give informationStrategic Reading: Read, question, monitor, repair, infer, connect, clarify, and interpret 46. Less productive talk: take turns giving information; (Jack requests clarification; Jill replies with shallow reactions and twice ignores Jacks requests before continuing on) Jack & Jill Gr. 5Less strategic reading: reading aloud, taking separate notes (Jack rereading, monitoring, asking questions, attempts to interpret; Jill supports erroneous interpretation) 47. Noticing Strengths and Difficulties in Social & Cognitive EngagementS O C I A LCOGNITIVE 48. Fostering Productive Talk Patterns to Support Higher-Level Thinking (CCSS) Teach students how to collaboratively build on partners ideas and jointly construct new insights rather than individually compiling facts Teach students when and how to apply Internet reciprocal teaching strategies Teach students how to monitor and stay focused on their purpose and relevant texts as well as when and how to think critically See http://coiroira2013.wikispaces.com/ for ideas 49.
