商品簡介
Johnson, a technology facilitator at JN Fries Middle School in North Carolina, offers standards-based assessment rubrics and strategies to help teachers connect their teaching to the e-tools that are relevant in students' lives. The first part of the book offers a rationale for using digital tools in the classroom, gives background on today's students, and gives general tips on assessing the many digital products available. Part 2 investigates 30 specific techniques and products, such as ePals, blogs, Google Docs, podcasting, SchoolTube, Second Life, Twitter, wikis, and Zoho. Each two-page entry in this section overviews the tool, gives advice for using it in the classroom, discusses issues to consider, and gives notes on content area tie-ins to math, social studies, language arts, and science. A collection of brief teacher case studies illustrates teaching strategies. An appendix lists national standards and performance indicators for students; a glossary of digital terms is also included. There is no subject index. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
