Wildlife—Thematic Multimedia Projects
by Susan Monahan and Dee Susong
In an after-school computer club, the challenge of creating
multimedia
presenatations motivates all students (even those with
disabilities)
to research, read, and write. The projects improved both basic
skills
and self-esteem by teaching students to use technology and to
help peers
and teachers with technology troubleshooting. The two projects
Susan
and Dee describe in this article provide valuable models for
training
students and teachers about technology and incorporating it
into the
curriculum. Copyright © 1996, ISTE
