Description

Written by teachers for teachers, this text offers a clear and current look at the range of educational technologies and how teachers can effectively use technology to enhance learning.

Using practical applications, examples from the classroom, and an array of reflection activities, the text offers students the opportunity to fully explore and apply technologies as tools to enhance teaching and learning. This edition includes a new culminating chapter focusing on technology standards and how these standards and technology impact the teaching profession.
