This how-to book gives concrete suggestions and step-by-step guidance for both beginning and experienced teachers. It focuses on the practical application of computers and the internet to the everyday tasks of teaching and learning.

 

Integrating Technology was written for teachers, from elementary through university grades, who want to use technology in their teaching. It is a practical, hands-on, how-to guide that is based on the authors' decades of work helping teachers to incorporate computers and the Internet into their work.  It was designed for beginners who are just getting started and need ideas and support to move them along, as well as experienced users who need a handbook of concrete strategies and instructions for taking the next step. The book also makes an ideal resource for teachers-in-training.

  • The book is very user-friendly, providing resources for all teachers K-16 as they use technology to support their curriculum. Every chapter includes easy step-by-step instructions that all teachers can follow.
  • This book is organized around students first and then moves on to teachers and classrooms to illustrate a logical sequence of needs.
  • Technologies, such as Word-processors and spreadsheets, the ineternmet, presentations and multimedia, that teachers use the most are emphasized.
  • Information about additional online resources such as related topics, online examples, or free resources available to teachers can be explored through the use of chapter ending sections called “Learn More”.
  • Throughout the book, vignettes are provided that describe real teachers facing real challenges as they integrate technology into their teaching.
  • A website (www.ablongman.com/lengel1e) where readers can learn more about each topic, connect to other resources, and extend their learning has been built by the authors and is referenced throughout the book.
