With adaptable lesson plans and assessments as well as educator examples the book will inspire teachers to create intentional student-centered e-Poetry units.</p><p>The book is aligned with ELA literacy standards International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) educator standards and National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE)’s position statement for integrating technology into ELA classrooms. It is a key resource for secondary school educators teaching ELA creative writing and digital media.</p>
