DIGITAL MEDIA IN THE CLASSROOM

Digital Media in the Classroom introduces K-12 teachers to the variety of media they can use to increase the learning potential of today's digital generation. They learn how they can use software, the Web, interactive games, desktop publishing, and digital accessories such as still and video cameras, microphones, lighting systems, scanners, and printers in their everyday classroom lessons. The book's activities integrate these digital tools with lessons in math, physical and social sciences, language arts, and career development. Aspiring teachers taking the required two-unit technology course as part of their credential or certification program will find this an invaluable resource while established educators can use the book for inspiration in developing and designing their own dynamic classroom curricula using digital media.
