Students today embrace digital media through online communities, music services, cell phone networks, video games and a variety of other tools and services.
To more effectively reach them in the classroom, teachers need to speak their language, and a great way to do that is to incorporate engaging, digital activities that make their learning more student-centered, relevant and exciting.
Digital Media Labs from PCS Edventures, Inc. combines digital media technology, a comprehensive curriculum and a Web-based portfolio system into a tidy package that can help any teacher bring their classroom to life.
Each lab package focuses on a specific digital medium including photography, video or audio or educators can purchase a combination package that provides all three. The lab materials—such as industrial strength cameras, voice recorders, data cards, cables, etc.—are neatly organized into a hardshell storage case for protection and easy portability.
The curriculum has been designed from the ground up to correlate with ISTE standards, and it provides a comprehensive resource for infusing technology into the classroom. Each volume includes at least 40 detailed activities complete with background information and resources for the teacher. In addition, each activity includes specific adjustments so teachers can apply the lessons specifically to English, mathematics, science or history.
The Web services provide an easy-to-use method of allowing the students to document and store their work, share it with others in the classroom and build an impressive digital portfolio that actively builds technology literacy and meets NETS standards.
The Digital Media Lab series from PCS Edventures provides a turnkey package for teachers looking to infuse technology into their classroom and versions are available for both primary and secondary educators. If you’re looking for a well designed solution that will help you put more digital media and more excitement into the hands of your students, you need to look no further than PCS Edventures.
