The summer article is "5 Types of Slam Dunk Digital Lessons"
by Jamie McKenzie.
http://fno.org/sum04/covsum.html

Slam dunk digital lessons are designed to deliver learning with
simplicity, efficiency and ease. They are meant to enhance existing
unit plans by adding new information resources where they will do the
most good. They are not a case of technology for technology's sake.

Originally designed to provide appealing lessons for those teachers
who had long viewed the new technologies with skepticism,
apprehension and reluctance, slam dunk lessons have proven effective
with a full range of teachers and their students, as they provide
well structured, brief learning experiences that require students to
do challenging thinking. They are standards-based and are usually
provocative, motivating and intriguing.

This article expands on earlier work by describing five types of slam
dunk digital lessons. While teachers may ultimately invent dozens of
other types, this article is meant to broaden the menu of
opportunities while encouraging teachers to dream up even more lesson
types.
