Synopsis

Teaching in the Digital Age, Second Edition provides a framework for how internet-based activities can blend the theory of multiple intelligences and brain-based research to help engage and motivate student learning.

This "how-to" book helps teachers encourage active student involvement, adjust for individual student learning styles, and present standards-based lessons through the scope of the internet. Rather than offering fixed lesson plans, the author helps teachers generate their own projects and activities through assessment rubrics and curriculum standards, all the while using the internet to engage and challenge students.

The internet-based activities are organized into three categories: interpersonal exchange, information gathering and analysis, and problem-solving. Additionally, the provided assessment rubrics will help teachers adapt their activities to students’ differing intelligences and learning needs.
