You know what the iGeneration in your classroom looks like. They're the students willing to experiment their way through anything, confident that trial and error can crack the code better than reading manuals or following directions. They're turning to the Internet first and the library second when assigned research projects. Their minds are working fast, but not always as deeply or as accurately as the adults in their lives would like. Yet teachers can capture the attention of the iGeneration and help them grow by integrating technology into classrooms in a way that focuses on the skills that have been important for decades. Teaching the iGeneration shows how to integrate proven instructional strategies with 21st century tools to make learning more accessible to today's technology-savvy students. Each chapter identifies an enduring skill that students need to acquire-information fluency, persuasion, communication, collaboration, and problem solving-and offers a digital solution to enhance, rather than replace, familiar practices to teach that skill. With this book, educators can make learning more efficient, empowering, and fun. Authors William M. Ferriter and Adam Garry provide: Practical solutions for using technology to teach essential skills A guide to understanding the pros and cons of Web 2.0 resources Over 70 handouts and activities for each skill and digital tool
