Exactly how does a teacher develop and implement technology-rich activities and projects that meet curriculum and technology standards? This book, representing four years and the collective work of more than 2,000 educators, offers a solid solution to that problem. Three dozen user friendly learning activities and eight multidisciplinary units integrate technology and curriculum in a way that creates an exciting and effective whole. Not only do students communication and thinking skills improve while they develop competence in using technology, but every activity, idea, and unit correlates standards for specific disciplines with ISTE's NETS for Students. The bonus 'Workshop Staging Guide' suggests ways to use activities and multidisciplinary resource units for preservice and inservice teacher training.
FEATURES Classroom-tested techniques for technology integration Innovative lesson plans and activities Resources for multicultural, multidisciplinary, and special needs classes Practical advice for teacher educators as well as preservice and inservice teachers
