As a college teacher, she revised her literacy courses to integrate technology. Berkowitz has presented at conferences on integrating technology into the classroom. 

Review :
"Antonacci and O′Callaghan have truly brought content literacy into the technology age with this book, a must-have text that combines classic strategies with digital and other new literacies to prepare teachers for the 21st century classroom!" "Developing Content Area Literacy provides 40 strategies for middle and secondary classrooms in a format that not only makes the strategies easy to use in the classrooms, but also provides the research behind each one." "I like the way each strategy is in its own comprehensive chapter with overviews, step-by-step procedures, differentiation, focus on ELLs, and application of the strategy. Because each has its own chapter, it makes it easy to find/reference each one."
