Based on a specific 20-question checklist and how-to recommendations, this text is designed to show educators how to choose and implement appropriate technology for their schools.

Schools often commit to a technology facade or strategy of failure. They adopt new technology without planning and developing the necessary infrastructure to support technology applications for instruction. Lawrence Tomei's checklist and implementation guidelines help educators recognize and address problems in their schools' technology programs. Human factors, financial investment, commitment of resources, and instructional strategy are all addressed to make sure technology planning is effective. Teachers and administrators will use this book as a guide to operations with chapter by chapter recommendations, performance criteria and advice.

The Technology Facade Checklist provides a means to examine a school's instructional technology program and develop a step-by-step strategy to resolve any shortcomings.

A Comprehensive Analysis Form examines the three basic elements of the facade and how a school can be rated providing an easy-to-use strategy for improvement.

To foster true learning, technology-related learning objectives that encompass cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills are outlined in the Taxonomy for Instructional Technology (Ch. 5).

The final Technology Plan that educators can implement is practical and based on research conducted by the National Center for technology Planning.

Includes an easy-to-use scope and sequence of technology skills for grades K-12 (Ch. 10).

Sample lesson plans, handouts, reference guides, exercises, and vignettes throughout the book offer useful resources for educators.
