Developing ways to fit technology into existing lessons can be a real challenge. This valuable resource uses planning forms and examples to help media specialists and teachers focus on ways to effectively and purposefully add technology.

Each unit example begins with a completed planning form showing unit title and length, technology connections, suggested grade levels, activity focus, suggested collaborations between media specialist and teacher, basic resources ,and preparation tasks and lesson plans. The examples show key places within each unit where technology can be integrated easily. The collaborations connect with standards-based education in language arts, math, science and social studies. Ideas for whole-class projects are also included. Easy-to-follow unit outlines include evaluation rubrics for many subject areas, while user-friendly graphic organizers make integrating technology that much easier.
