Survey Results: Mobile learning for ELT http://bit.ly/bKdh0L Survey Results: Mobile learning for ELT
The purpose of the survey was to ascertain the level of awareness and openness to mobile learning among English language teachers.
I also wanted to find out to what degree and how teachers were already using mobile learning both in their teaching and and professional development and to establish whether they would be willing to pay for and use mobile content.
The survey also collected information about the teachers’ existing access to mobile services and the kinds of device they are using to get access to mobile Internet.

Read, Write and Type! http://whatworks.ed.gov/InterventionReportLinks.asp?iid=370&tid=01 "Read, Write and Type" Learning System is a software program with supporting materials designed to teach beginning reading skills by emphasizing writing as a way to learn to read.
The program was developed for six- to nine-year-old students who are just beginning to read and for students who are struggling readers and writers. The main goal of Read, Write & Type!™ is to help students develop an awareness of the 40 English phonemes and the ability to associate each phoneme with a letter or a combination of letters and a finger stroke on the keyboard. Other goals of the program include identifying phonemes in words and fluency in sounding out, typing, and reading regularly spelled words.
