Anderson, Mary Alice, Ed.
This notebook is a compilation of 53 lesson plans for grades 6-12, written by various authors and focusing on the integration of technology into the curriculum. Lesson plans include topics such as online catalog searching, electronic encyclopedias, CD-ROM databases, exploring the Internet, creating a computer slide show, desktop publishing, and many others. Appropriate grade level is indicated for each lesson plan. Reproducible activity forms follow many lesson plans. The introduction supplies an outline of information literacy and technology skills suggested for grade 6-12 students. The rest of the notebook is divided into nine sections: (1) "Orientation and General Skills" (the changing role of the school library media teacher, the human side of technology, and electronic search basics); (2) "Using Electronic Reference Tools in Research" (including search strategies); (3) "Telecommunications, Online Services, Internet"; (4) "Using Multimedia Resources"; (5) "Integration of Technology into the Curriculum"; (6) "Desktop Publishing" (of student research); (7) "Training and Staff Development"; (8) a bibliography of suggested books and articles; and (9) a glossary of terms.
