| Summary |
""Until we understand the powerful learning, collaborating, and producing that teenagers do with their cell phones, MP3 players, laptops, and the Internet, we won't understand how we can best utilize those technologies in our classrooms. Whether you're a digital native new to the classroom or a veteran teacher struggling to learn your students' Internet lingo, this book is your guide to 21st-century teenagers, literacy, and learning. After 17 years of teaching middle school English, I know that I can't teach literacy today without this book." ---Laura Maslin Bradley, English Teacher Kenilworth Junior High School, Petaluma, CA" "Digital media presents powerful tools for engaging students in developing critical thinking, collaboration, and other 21st-century skills. Written for middle and high school teachers, this resource explores the relationship between students and digital media and shows how to design learning opportunities that harness today's technology." "Jessica K. Parker gives teachers a deeper understanding of the dynamic potential for increasing student learning through new technologies."--BOOK JACKET. |
