Summary: Book Description
Review: No time for learning new technology, no capacity for electronic teaching methods, no idea how to create a Web page -- no longer! Linworth Publishing, Inc. introduces a book that will drive educators to conquer the Internet and energize student imaginations at the same time!E-Teaching: Creating Web Sites and Student Web Portfolios Using Microsoft PowerPoint by Jay D'Ambrosio is just the tool educators need to step into the 21st century of teaching using the electronic resources available to them. This book demystifies the very valuable technological asset of Web design, making it very easy to incorporate into any educational setting. This new resource also details the effectiveness of using Web sites as electronic portfolios that will not only spark student enthusiasm but be used as an effective means of alternative assessment in the classroom. To avoid being left behind in this technologically savvy world, educators must stay a step ahead of our students in learning to use the Internet as a tool to enhance student success and classroom instruction. Now educators can learn how to create, design and publish their own Web sites in a step-by-step method that assumes little or no prior knowledge of Web design and without using complex Web design software or html. Part One focuses on Web design for teachers using Microsoft PowerPoint, while Part Two provides information on assisting students in creating their own Web sites to use as electronic portfolios. Each chapter provides a "Library Media Connection" section that presents information and suggestions for librarians to collaborate with teachers and assist them in integrating technology into the learning environment. Teaching with technology can be a reality in the classroom and a success throughout the curriculum. E-Teaching is a tool that will shed new light on this daunting electronic age for veteran and up-and-coming educators alike. It is the perfect guide to supplementing and enriching the learning environment. Two of Jay D'Ambrosio's Web sites were recognized as "Best Bets in Education" by USA Today. He is the founder and owner of Atlantis Web Solutions, a Web development company that specializes in Web and wireless site design. Jay also teaches Adventures in World History at the Seneca Valley Middle School near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
