It is also critical to compare and contrast their functions, advantages, disadvantages in the reading classroom. One must also be able to visualize how these resources will assist the accelerating or struggling learners. It is imperative to discuss their importance in one instructional and assessment designs.
As educators preach about the challenges they face within the walls of their classrooms, I.C.T. can be used as the vehicle to assist with the elimination of these problems. Many reading settings need dynamic and diverse strategies and technologies to enhance them. The use of the computer, graphic organisers, E-beams, wikis, Storyboards, podcasts and interactive charts and games will allow the learners to excel and comprehend well the concepts taught.
