I have been helping the Reading Interventionists at my school plan our Read Across America Activities. I was in charge of finding resources to use in lab to integrate technology into our event. I have scheduled each class grades K-5 in one of labs for a half hour during RAA Week. Students first watch the video of Tim Tebow reading Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss.
Then students read an electronic book at www.wegivebooks.org , after students read a book students are asked to donate a book to a charity. My goal is to donate 200 books by the end of the week to World Vision. They then fillout a reading buck (bail our gym teacher out of jail) and take an AR test. If time permits they can read another electronic book or play educational games at www.seussville.com . I have tried to incorporate as much technology as possible in a half hour time. Also, to track hour many books we have donated I created a Cat and the Hat themed bulletin board in the lab.
