Technology Toolbox for the K-12 Literacy Teacher

Abstract

This chapter reviews assistive technology solutions to literacy teaching challenges in the classroom, current trends with literacy and technology, available open source, commercial, and mobile literacy technology tools, and how to select the proper tools in the classroom to create a valuable toolbox of literacy-based technology tools to advance literacy goals in K-12 schools. Because these technologies are always evolving, we provide decision rules for selecting new tools to teach literacy.

LC/MS and LC/MS/MS determination of protein tryptic digests

“…Most of the successful problem-solving applications, however, focus on so-called small, moderately polar molecules whose molecular weights are typically less than 500. Neither the thermospray [3,4] nor particle beam [5] LC/MS interfaces have shown much promise for high-sensitivity determinations of the more challenging biomedical molecules such as peptides and proteins. Fast atom bombardment (FAB) in the continuous flow FAB [6,7] mode has recently shown considerable improvement, but the chromatographic flow rates must be maintained below approximately 5 t-tLlmin by using either open tubular [8] or packed capillary columns [9] unless a postcolumn flow split is employed.…”
