  Case: Computer Support Programs
My school district has implemented two web based programs for struggling students. While these programs can provide extra support and documentation for RTI meetings, I feel that too much emphasis is put into these programs. Would time be better spent for these students to be with the teacher for small group instruction or in the computer lab using these programs?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Although I am unsure of the computer programs your district is implementing, I would use them as resources. I would not allow them to replace the classroom instruction that you provide as an educator. The data that is collected from these programs can be used as tools to guide instruction in those small groups that you have mentioned. For example, my school is currently using Lexia which provides reading support for struggling students. The areas of weakness identified by the program is used in my small groups as target areas.

Comments: I have heard negative complaints of some of the computer-based programs for struggling students and I think they should be tempered with one-on-one instruction time with struggling student.

Comments: I agree with this solution because technology can be a great resource for teachers to identify what topics small groups should target or focus on. Technology can’t always replace small group and teacher focused interaction, however, it can work as a great supplement and become a tool to guide teacher interaction and focus.
