I watched the "Pay Attention " video on YouTube and agree that teachers have a wealth of technological resources that they could be utilizing to engage students. I can certainly attest to the fact that children are "tech savvy". In fact, my own 7 year old daughter taught herself how to change the stationery background on emails, change the picture on the "msn sign in screen", change the arrow cursor to other shapes (like a fireball or rocket!), and insert emoticons!
She then had to teach her mom!.............Technology point--- well taken!

Hi Taran!
Thanks for posting.
The students are definitely the ones who knows the technology and *want* to use it.
In relation to reading, why not use the technology and its effect to promote young reading.
Take a look at www.starfall.com . It is a great reading website.
I am sure your daughter may even know about this site!
Yes, her school highly recommends that website and it is a great teaching tool!
