Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Digital Footsteps into the 21st Century Classroom is an inspirational reading  encouraging educators to step into a child’s world … the world of technology & music.  This unique book shares techniques which make learning interactive through the  integration of the iPod, SMART Board, document camera, digital photography, & videography. Classroom Management tips & numerous interactive websites are listed for today’s classroom. “As educational role models let us wake up and smell the Starbucks as we become enthusiastically willing to enter the world of a child through technology & music” The Net Generation of young people are born with an iPod in their ears and a cell phone in their pockets. The old saying, “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em holds true! We must refrain from “educational stagnation”. If we embrace students interests versus outlawing them, levels of achievement will increase! Are you aware that some universities are now requiring students to own an iPod Touch.

To truly reach a child we must be willing to step into his or her world… or we haven’t a chance!
