About The Book

While everyone agrees that students in the 21 century must become literate in technology, not every teacher is properly equipped to incorporate these skills into their lessons.  Amy gives practical suggestions on how teachers can have their students learn digital creativity, problem solving, and digital citizenship in their core classroom and not just in a separate technology class where students are liable to forget everything that they have learned.

Tech Out Your Classroom: 6 Projects to Meet Common Core & ISTE Standards is easy to read, and has step by step instructions on how to plan your project, learn the technology involved and follow through on implementing and grading the project in your classroom while meeting Common Core and ISTE standards.
