Education

Unique to the technology education market, this book emphasizes learning with cutting-edge technology within a constructivist framework. This book not only addresses how to use very specific types of technology, but focuses on how technology can be used as a thinking tool to foster meaningful learning. Very current uses of technology such as video theater, cybermentoring, creating homepages, and hypermedia are discussed to focus on “student learning” versus “instructor teaching.”

  Grounded in constructivist teachings this text will help teachers demonstrate ways that technology can be used to engage and support meaningful learning. Much different than the last edition, the 3rd edition of this popular text is now organized around learning processes that engage and support different learning activities such as investigating, exploring, writing, modeling, community buildiing, communicating, designing, visualizing, and assessing. Rather than the reader learning how to use specific technologies this book demonstrates for the reader how learners can use different technologies for meaningful learning.
