Classroom Currents Language Arts is a technology-infused supplemental language arts curriculum that allows teachers to easily integrate education technology into their classroom language arts instruction. It is a set of innovative technology-enhanced learning tools, rather than a single use software program. Classroom Currents Language Arts has project-based lessons that promote active learning. These lessons are designed to work equally well in computer labs or classrooms that have limited or extensive computer access. Classroom Currents is correlated to state and national standards for language arts.

The Classroom Currents projects promote active learning of core language arts skills, including:

• grammar and mechanics

• vocabulary

• style and usage

• reading comprehension

• the writing process

• listening and speaking skills

• critical thinking skills

These language skills are integrated with Microsoft Office or AppleWorks applications, the software that is already on your computers. Students learn to apply their knowledge through key technology tools:

• word processing

• desktop publishing

• multimedia presentations

• spreadsheets and databases

• Internet use and Web page creation

To ease implementation, the projects are designed to supplement your existing textbooks and lesson plans; you don't have to start from scratch in order to integrate education technology and to stimulate effective language learning.

Classroom Currents Language Arts is designed in color-coded units for both PC and Mac users, allowing you to choose the level that is appropriate for your students. Because students learn in diverse ways, the color-coded units allow you to use multiple levels in a single classroom or across the grade.

Each Grade Pack includes:

• 1 Teacher Guide, including a Technology Reference Guide

• 25 Student Workbooks, each with its own Technology Reference Guide

• 2 CDs with electronic templates and samples for each lesson

• online standards correlation guides matching each lesson with your state's language arts standards
