Interactive
Multimedia Storybooks—Integrating
Technology into the Language Arts Curriculum
by Scott Frederickson
Technology doesn’t always seem to fit well in the
language arts
classroom. Students can word process their reports and papers,
but the
technology components of those activities have always been
peripheral
to the actual curriculum. Interactive storybooks, however,
allow students
at all levels to read on the computer. And, easy-to-use
multimedia software
allows them to create their own storybooks. Scott describes
how eighth-grade
students in his school created interactive storybooks for
first and
second graders.

Mining the Internet
Online
by Glen Bull, Gina Bull, & Judi
Harris
Mining the Internet is an ongoing column in L&L.
Frequently
the Internet changes substantially in the six months between
the time
that a column is submitted and the time it appears in print.
The Mining
the Internet Web site will provide a location for updates to
each issue’s
column. It will also provide a way to offer active links to
Internet
locations mentioned in the column and a place for material
that would
not fit in the confines of a four-page column. The column will
therefore
become a hybrid mix of print materials that will appear in
each issue
of L&L and supplementary materials that will be
placed on
the Web each month.
