Synopsis

There are many books on educational technology, but few specifically for the computer lab teacher. As in any other subject, learning technology requires structure and lessons aligned to standards. And like in other subjects, students need a strong foundation and understanding of technology in order to succeed in school and in their future careers. "The Computer Lab Teacher's Survival Guide" speaks directly to computer lab teachers, advising on set up, lab management, Internet security, ergonomics, and other important components of an effective computer lab, one that provides the materials needed to create life-long technology learners. Other educators who lack computer lab teacher training, but are responsible for technology education, will find this book a helpful resource to lead them through a whole year of instruction. This book presents educators with 10 units, each containing two to three lessons and associated supplemental materials on the accompanying CD. The units and lessons can be used as a starting point, as a year-long program, or they can be adapted to meet the needs of the educator's students and curriculum. Much of the content in this second edition is completely new, and what isn't new has been revised to keep up with the constant changes in technology. The materials in the book and on the CD provide a framework to ensure that students receive an effective, current, and relevant technology education. This title features a CD with more than 100 supplemental materials including worksheets, quizzes, and multimedia presentations. Each lesson includes extension, remediation, and accommodation ideas. It includes reference sections for NETS*S and NETS*T.
