Demonstrates how learning theory concepts can inform and shape how teachers use technology

Long recognized as the leading educational technology text on the market, this book links technology integration strategies to specific learning theories, shows pre- and in-service teachers how to plan for technology integration, and offers opportunities to practice integrating technology by designing curriculum to meet teaching and learning needs. Readers see clearly how learning theory concepts can inform and shape teachers’ technology uses. The book’s comprehensive technology integration framework—The Technology Integration Planning Model (TIP Model)—is built on a balance of research and proven classroom practices and shows teachers how to create an environment in which technology can effectively enhance learning. Carefully-selected examples and exercises in each chapter encourage teachers to reflect on their practice as they develop the insights, knowledge, and skills they need to integrate technology into content area curricula. Featuring hundreds of lesson examples and recommended resources, the text balances the theory-based “why” and the practical “how” of using technology to support and shape the future of technology in education.

Invigorate learning with the Enhanced Pearson eText
The Enhanced Pearson eText provides a rich, interactive learning environment designed to improve student mastery of content with the following multimedia features:

• See real examples of students and classrooms. Embedded videos show students and school administrators talking about technology uses that have helped them meet classroom needs and make the best use of technology tool capabilities.
• Interactive Technology Learning Checklists (TLCs) or exercises at the end of each major section are matched to each chapter-learning outcome.
• Author-recorded Big Ideas Overviews following the Technology Integration Example that begins each chapter help students focus on the main ideas and important information they should look for in each chapter.
• Teacher self-assessment rubrics, specific to each content area, help teachers track growth in technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (Tech-PACK).
