Teaching Technology Through Interest Projects, developed over six years by a classroom teacher, is a fun, highly effective method for teaching Internet research skills and presentation technology to students. The book provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step guidance for the teacher/parent and student, and includes online access to instructional materials for classroom demonstration. Students love the activities because they get to create a dynamic presentation on a topic that interests them. Interest Projects work great in all types of classrooms: regular, gifted, or homeschool. The lessons and activities can be taught by grade level or in multi-age classrooms.
