In the Digital Age, the dominance of conventional, linear text of the last few centuries is eroding and giving way to multimodal communication, with its screen-based, non-linear, participatory and visual emphasis. This presentation highlights innovative educational uses of the Read-Write Web that effectively incorporate both conventional prose and multimedia communication. Join in reviewing alternative K-12 activities and projects with interactive technologies and see how online social media is empowering student-centered leaning. Designed for curriculum specialists, classroom teachers, and educational technology specialists, this session features projects from social studies, language arts, world languages and math/science classrooms.
