These in-depth, classroom-tested projects connect information literacy and technology skills with the elementary curriculum while promoting cooperation among teachers and librarians. Students explore such varied topics as architecture, islands, government, money, and advertising through diverse technologies-CD-ROMs, the Internet, e-mail, and videotape production. Each chapter includes an overview of the topic; objectives; detailed instructions; activities for reading, writing, and brainstorming; directions for practicing technology skills; library connections; suggested Web sites; and a bibliography. The activities, presented on reproducible sheets, help students develop problem-solving and research skills. All have interchangeable components, so they can be adapted to a variety of technologies. This is a complete and vital guide for introducing younger students to technology. Grades 3-5.
