Stay ahead of the curve with these fresh ideas for engaging adolescents through today’s new media! Learn to make technology work for you with this guide to integrating hypermedia into your content area curriculum. Authors Susan O’Hara and Bob Pritchard navigate the virtual learning waters with you, demonstrating how to utilize meaningful hypermedia to develop students’ content area vocabulary. Their strategies are concrete and research-based and provide a wealth of ways you can engage your students in building vocabulary as they create their own hypermedia applications. A CD-ROM of authentic classroom scenarios, internet links, and video demonstrates the techniques and tools discussed in the book and lets you see how the authors’ ideas can work with your students. In this increasingly technological age, students are often out on the cutting edge all alone; teachers and schools may not reach adolescents through the tools those learners use more and more. Don’t let technology outpace your instruction; let Susan and Bob show you how to make the best use of hypermedia today.

National Educational Technology Standards for Students Curriculum Series: Multidisciplinary Units for Grades 6-8

ISTE

The Common Core State Standards require students to do more with knowledge and language than ever before. Rather than be mere consumers of knowledge, students must now become creators, critics, and communicators of ideas across disciplines. Yet in order to take on these new and exciting roles, many students need daily teaching with an extra emphasis on accelerating their academic communication skills. 
Common Core Standards in Diverse Classrooms describes seven research-based teaching practices for developing complex language and literacy skills across grade levels and disciplines: using complex texts, fortifying complex output, fostering academic interaction, clarifying complex language, modeling, guiding, and designing instruction. Most important, you will find clear descriptions and examples of how these essential practices can—and should—be woven together in real lessons. You will also find the following:
<ul>
<li>Classroom activities based on the practices </li> <li>Dozens of classroom examples from lessons in different grade levels and disciplines</li> <li>Detailed lessons with annotations focused on language and literacy development</li> <li>Strategies and tools for building system-wide capacity for sustained growth in the practices </li>
</ul>
Common Core Standards in Diverse Classrooms is a concise guide for helping us improve our practices to strengthen two vital pillars that support student learning: academic language and disciplinary literacy.
