Literacy Learning in Networked Classrooms : Using the Internet with Middle-level Students

"Literacy Learning in Networked Classrooms" will help you reach the ELA and NETS-S standards to meet No Child Left Behind requirements for use of technology in reading and preparing students to be technology literate by eighth grade.

You'll discover the research base for including technology in your classes, gain an understanding of the dynamics of digital reading and writing, and learn how to design online literacy opportunities.

Three curriculum units illustrate the book's framework and target key topics in online literacy: cultivating student ownership of literacy in the middle grades; teaching students to conduct information research; and harnessing the writing process through an online writers' workshop.

Additional teaching tools include timelines of classroom events, reproducible rubrics for assessing curriculum units, suggested Web resources, and a glossary of key terms.
