Evidence of Application
The part of IDA standard 4 that I chose to focus on with this artifact 7 primarily is about
vocabulary, technology, and enhancement to the learning environment. It is important that the literacy
leader understands that part of IDA 4 is about the role of vocabulary development and vocabulary
knowledge in oral and written language comprehension. Using both the QRCodes and Mystery Skype
can be used in small groups or individually. The QRCodes could be scaffholded to be more or less
academically challenging. Not every QRCode in the lesson can take the reader to the same site.
Students can practice going to more or less rigorous websites with a lot or specific information. Each
student can be successful based in their zone of proximal learning. If its a group project the students
can work and learn from one another. Similarly to using Mystery Skype often the set up stages of using
these technologies is what sets it apart from being successful or unsuccessful. As a literacy leader
assisting in setting up the classrooms for success would be mostly helping with the prep after the
research stage was over.
The use of the QRCode for example can be assigned to send a lower reader to a sight with
information they can access because it is on their level. However, another student can be linked to a
more complex article or video where the information is at their academic level. This tool can ensure
that all students are engaged in their learning. It also is very time consuming and is a great tool for a
literacy leader to assist in setting up for the classroom teachers or to help get some sites ready for
teachers depending on what units of study they are teaching. The QRCodes can be used individually or
in a small group where students come together with different pieces of information from different
sources. Mystery Skype as stated earlier can also be used independently or individually. These tools
enhance the learning environment within the classroom and emphasize literature and print rich
environments.
