Abstract: Computers do not replace the need for students to read good books. However, sharing a book can employ contemporary strategies, such as project-based learning, that provide an exciting balance between traditional teaching and technology tools. Heritage teachers ensure that they do not abandon aspects of traditional skill development as they embrace contemporary tools. Educators should continue to learn from the strategies that schools are developing to integrate contemporary resources in traditional classroom environments. The techniques presented here suggest ways to balance the demands of traditional teaching with contemporary tools. (Contains 10 online resources.)
