Description: Moodle, websites, electronic textbooks, video clips, online quizzes, and interactive simulations... digital content can be an engaging, impactful, and a cost-effective way to improve learning. This workshop will introduce effective practices for creating, managing, and delivering digital content to supplement your curriculum.
* This session meets the "technology integration" licensure renewal requirement.

eTextbooks... Fad or Future?

• Digital Education (infographic)
• Huggington Post (Arne Duncan...)
• The Journal (Report Recommends...)
• New York Times (Digital Future...)
• Scholastic (Build Your Own...) 
  
• If you have taught more than 10 years... how do your curriculum materials compare?
• How will your materials now compare to 10 years from now?

Much more than scanning the pages of a textbook:

• Digital curriculum is multimedia, interactive, and customizable.
• Text, images, audio, video, etc...
• Animation, simulations, games, etc...
• Instant feedback, personalized learning, 24/7 access, etc...
• Access is key (at school and at home).
• A LMS (Learning Management System), like Moodle, is critical.
• Content must be as universal as possible...
• Desktops, laptops, netbooks, iPads, tablets, etc...
• Web-based resources are often better than documents.
• Digital Media: Create, Manage, Deliver (presentation)
