Summary:

"As educators, instructional coaches, and educational consultants, authors Meg Ormiston, Lauren Slanker, Jennifer Lehotsky, Megan K. 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" -- Provided by publisher.
