Subject: Educational Technology for Librarians and Teachers
I would like to share the book I just published for Greenwood Press. It
is written from a Librarian's perspective on information literacy using
educational technology for At-Risk Students. All students can benefit.
It is based on extensive research and personal experience as a K-12
Director of Libraries and Technology and a Community College faculty member.
Thanks,
Roxanne

** Description **
Based on extensive research, this practical guide offers library
media specialists and teachers solutions and practical
applications of educational technology within subject disciplines
to help improve the achievement of at-risk students.
Working in partnership, library media specialists and teachers at
all levels of the educational system will find lesson plans,
successful case studies, and project ideas for replication in
language arts, science, and social studies. Mendrinos, an expert
in educational technology, provides the results of her research
into trends in integrating technology and information literacy
into the curriculum and the effects of these cutting-edge efforts
on the achievement of at-risk students. She then offers
practical applications of successful teaching units for use with
at-risk students. Exceptional educational technology
programs show how to weave multimedia software, CD-ROM technology,
videodiscs, and Internet resources into the
curriculum to enhance learning and increase student productivity.
Five high school and middle school library media
specialists provide detailed educational technology programs for
replication that have been successful with at-risk students.
