Plugged In to English: English & Language Arts Activities for the Computer Lab (Cottonwood Press)

Turn the computer into a wonderful new tool to help teach language arts! We're not talking about using it as nothing more than a fancy typewriter. We're talking about using it for practical, engaging lab activities that really help teach writing and literature. With "Plugged In to English," author John O. Cole has students analyzing, critiquing, organizing, responding, creating, designing, evaluating, and much more. He says, "The use of computers in language arts has reinvigorated me as a teacher. I love the renewed enthusiasm my students now bring to class!" "Plugged In to English" comes with a CD-ROM that includes all student activities. The activities can be used with either PCs or Macs in any computer lab, using any word processing program. Although the activities are designed for grades 8-adult, many work very well with younger students as well.
