Description
"Infoclutter...a great term to describe the information overload we experience each day! This book provides us with practical tips and tricks for learning to manage this information for a variety of purposes, from personal productivity to information literacy, for an audience of teachers, students, and parents."
From the Foreword by Kathy Schrock
Maximize technology to minimize wasted time!
Technology has changed the face of education. A vast amount of information is at our fingertips; however, if we don't know how to find, sift through, organize, and manage it effectively, it becomes overwhelming and useless.

Well organized and easy to read, Conquering InfoClutter is packed with self-assessments, stories and examples, try-out activities, focus questions, action plans, and professional development tips, which reinforce the invaluable ideas provided. From charts and screen shots, to online resource referrals and a companion Website, the book will increase your proficiency, productivity, and peace of mind with technology.

Quickly find the information you need online
Organize and manage electronic files for easy retrieval and reuse of existing resources
Capitalize on email for efficient parent-student communication
Manage technology in the classroom and integrate it into the curriculum
Create your own Web site and share information with colleagues
