On the Web: VSTE Big Deal Book of Technology
“Big Deal Books are resources of interest to various audiences within the education market”. The Big Deal Book of
Technology is a free bi-weekly publication offered to anyone interested in technology in education. The following infor-
mation is provided in partnership with VSTE (Virginia Society of Technology in Education.) Enjoy!

Incorporate Project-Based Learning into the Curriculum
A new book from the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to
Real-World Projects in the Digital Age, offers educators a practical guide for maximizing the benefits of project-based learning in to-
day’s technology-rich learning environment. http://www.iste.org/AM/Template.cfm?
Section=Leadership_and_Skills_Development&Template=/CM/HTMLDisplay.cfm&ContentID=17265


Maximizing Technology Learning
The Encyclopedia of Educational Technology provides a comprehensive collection of short, multimedia articles on a variety of topics
in the field of educational technology. Many include links to supporting resources. Topics include “Active Learning”; “Brain-based
Learning”; “Cooperative Learning”; “Metacognition”; “Multiple Intelligences”; “Using Simulations to Facilitate Learning”; “Visual
Perception”—and much more. The online encyclopedia is a publication of San Diego State University’s Department of
Educational Technology. http://coe.sdsu.edu/eet/Admin/TOC/index.htm

Listen to the Diversity of Music in the U.S.
Complementing the WGBH radio show of the same name, the Art of the States Web site streams hard-to-find musical
pieces in their entirety, showcasing often-challenging examples of contemporary American music. Art of the States
provides access to hundreds of compositions and will eventually house an archive of more than 500 pieces. Search
contents by composer, performer, time period, instrumentation and genre. http://www.artofthestates.org
