Pop-up lesson journals and writing portfolios allow students to express their response to reading before, during or after the selection. Such journals can also serve to help develop higher order thinking skills. Multimedia reading programs Reading Adventures Primary (1 - 2), Reading Adventures (3 -6) and Reading Investigations (6 - 8) from Computer Curriculum Corporation (CCC) incorporate easy-to-use student response writing journals.

Even if teachers have one or no computer in their classrooms, these units can be of much help. Most of these units are great learning experiences not because of technology, but because they involve students in activities that challenge them, have them make sound theories, do quality research, do analysis, make judgments and then create interesting products to communicate their results. Technology can be used as tools in making these exciting learning experiences even deeper, richer and more motivating." http://www.cl.ais.net/rlevine/coolunits.htm [le site n'est pas beau, mais il est efficace.
