Part of The Atlantic's series called Why American Students Can't Write, this article focuses on how technology can help teachers align their strategies more efficiently with what students need.
From the article: "We know that we can use technology to measure whether particular approaches are working -- and then continuously improve those approaches. With the help of software, a teacher can queue up smaller chunks of an assignment and feed them to students at just the right time. This is crucial, because feedback needs to be timely in order for students to act on it. It should be provided in manageable chunks and meet the student where he is. Technology can, for instance, guide a teacher to avoid discussing a misplaced modifier if the student can't yet distinguish the subject of a sentence." Do English teachers agree?
