Flaherty, Janice Conboy, and Whitney Cavanagh have seen many unproductive technology rollouts take place in schools. Through this experience, they have developed a different approach. In NOW Classrooms, Grades 6-8: Lessons for Enhancing Teaching and Learning Through Technology--part of the NOW Classrooms series--the authors stress that real transformational school change focuses on robust teaching and learning, not the ever-evolving devices that may enhance that change. This book presents practical, classroom-tested lessons that teachers and instructional coaches can use to prime students in grades 6-8 to actively learn and solve real-world problems. Using these lessons, which are grounded in the essential four C skills (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity), teachers can connect technology to key learning outcomes and prepare students to succeed in the 21st century" --$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMiddle school education$xComputer-assisted instruction 606 $aEducational technology$xStudy and teaching (Middle school) 606 $aSchool improvement programs 615 0$aMiddle school education$xComputer-assisted instruction. 615 0$aEducational technology$xStudy and teaching (Middle school) 615 0$aSchool improvement programs. 676 $a306.43 700 $aOrmiston$b Meghan J.$01614361 702 $aOrmiston$b Meghan J. 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826511403321 996 $aNOW classrooms, grades 6-8$93944155 997 $aUNINA
