Teaching vocabulary with hypermedia, grades 6-122009

"Teaching Vocabulary with Hypermedia, 6-12, supports the teaching and learning of new literacies that take advantage of hypermedia and allow technology integration in the classroom. A hypermedia environment (such as the World Wide Web) links video, sound, graphics, and text elements." "Through this text, O'Hara and Pritchard describe using hypermedia as learning tools in three distinct ways: 1) how to use hypermedia to teach content area vocabulary, 2) how to create hypermedia lessons focused on the learning of new vocabulary and content area concepts, and 3) how to teach students to create their own hypermedia learning experiences. Content area teachers will find in Teaching Vocabulary with Hypermedia, 6-12, a series of lessons and classroom examples that will advance their instructional practice to include the newest technologies and motivate today's students."--Jacket.
