Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker began smARThistory in 2005 by creating a blog featuring free audio guides in the form of podcasts for use in The Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Soon after, we embedded the audio files in our online survey courses.

Digital Textbooks: Three Simple Shifts Can Speed Up Adoption | Powerful Learning Practice - 0 views

  • Shift #1  – Let’s make the curriculum map the curriculum map. That’s not a textbook’s job.
  • Better yet, can we build our curriculum maps to be digital frameworks, on which we can hang the additional digital resources that we use to help teach our students, standards and content?
  • then our coordinators need to be good at more than just instructional implementation. They also need expertise in publishing on the Web and in resource development and distribution
  •  
    Ideas for making the shift to digital texts. The Internet is the best source of content that's ever been. The challenge for schools and districts and parents and famillies and municipalities is getting that information into the hands of our students. It made sense to hand them a book when the experts were far away and the libraries were scarce and only had a few copies of everything. But it doesn't have to be that way now. In fact, in many ways, it's not.
