Organizing Instructional Time to Include Navigational Strategies

We all know that integrating technology into the curriculum is something that comes highly recommended, but is a requirement of all teachers. However, with all the focus on test preparation and students’ passing the standardized tests, how can we really fit navigational strategies into our instructional time, especially with our overcrowded classrooms. According to Leu, Leu, and Coiro, taking small groups at a time and teaching the students how to navigate the internet will help all students . Teaching each group a different strategy and allowing them to show other students from another group allows the teacher to effectively include these strategies into their instructional time. It also gives all the students an opportunity to correctly learn all the strategies and techniques they need to properly use the computer.
