Web-based learning opportunities have been expensive, slow to develop, and time-consuming to implement, despite pressure on schools to adopt technology solutions that will cure their educational ills. Web-Based Learning in K-12 Classrooms: Opportunities and Challenges chronicles the up and downs of online learning and offers unique insights into its future, providing a comprehensive, curriculum-wide treatment of K-12 content areas (reading, science, mathematics, social studies), special education, counseling, virtual schools, exemplary schools, implementation issues, and educational Web sites. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Internet represents a powerful, complex set of technologies that offers your students access to unlimited knowledgebut that access doesn't replace the human interactions found in classrooms. Placing a student in front of a computer monitor is a supplement to classroom learning, not a substitute for it. Academics and education professionals address questions surrounding the key issues involved in successfully incorporating the wide range of Web-based learning opportunities (formal courses, demonstrations, simulations, collaborations, searches) into the classroom, including technology, content, and implementation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWeb-Based Learning in K-12 Classrooms examines: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e inquiry-based learning\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e online interaction\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e displaying student work online\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Internet accessibility for students with disabilities\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e initiating school counselors into e-learning technologies\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e the role of government in virtual schools\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Web-based schools in California, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Texas\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e a 13-category classification system for online educational resources\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e the ATLAS model for program implementation\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e evaluations of more than 1,000 pieces of online information (articles, research, reports, news, and statistics) and 900 Web applications (tutorials, drills, games, and tests) with evaluation criteria\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeb-Based Learning in K-12 Classrooms is a vital resource for educators interested in online learning applications across the K-12 curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Blanchard, James Marshall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0789024926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780789024923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.86h x 6.22w x 0.73d","brand":"Jay Blanchard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47036565487871,"sku":"9780789024923","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9baac716-4e4a-40b4-a8e6-66855827920b.jpg?v=1752637960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/web-based-learning-in-k-12-classrooms-jay-blanchard-9780789024923","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
