Pacing, Pixels, and Paper: Flexibility in Learning Words from Flashcards

Kara Sage, Joseph Rausch, Abigail Quirk, Lauren Halladay

The present study focused on how self-control over pace might help learners successfully extract information from digital learning aids. Past research has indicated that too much control over pace can be overwhelming, but too little control over pace can be ineffective. Within the popular self-testing domain of flashcards, we sought to elucidate the optimal level of user control for digital learni ...

The Teacher Technology Integration Experience: Practice and Reflection in the Classroom

Dana Ruggiero, Christopher J. Mong

Previous studies indicated that the technology integration practices of teachers in the classroom often did not match their teaching styles. Researchers concluded that this was due, at least partially, to external barriers that prevented teachers from using technology in ways that matched their practiced teaching style. Many of these barriers, such as professional support and access to hardware an ...

An Exploration of the Views of Teachers Concerning the Effects of Texting on Children’s Literacy Development

David Wray

Texting, or text messaging, refers to the use of mobile phones to type and send brief, electronic messages over a telephone network. Because such messages are limited to 160 characters and are typed on a small phone keypad, texters tend to employ a great many abbreviations in conveying their messages. This has led to widespread spelling adaptations, for example, “BRB” (be right back), “LOL” (laugh ...
