Digital Tools for Transforming K-6 Literacy Practices- a teacher's guide for embedding technology into curriculum

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Fully embedding technology into the curriculum is key to preparing students to meet the demands of the 21st century. No single digital tool or instructional strategy will suit all classroom situations. As a result, From Pencils to Podcasts outlines many digital tools and strategies that the authors have found valuable and accessible in their own teaching experiences as well in other teachers' classrooms. The authors provide K-6 teachers with practical suggestions for incorporating technology into familiar literacy practices and illustrate ways technology can deepen students' literacy development. Each chapter includes information about easy-to-use technology tools, examples from real classrooms, and step-by-step instructions to get started.
