Focusing on the day-to-day realities of elementary and secondary schools, each chapter addresses the needs of future educators. The authors provide thoughtful perspectives, instructional examples, descriptions of technology tools and apps, and technology-integrated lesson plans from across the curriculum and for all grade levels as starting points for new teachers to use in developing technology-based learning for students. The 4th Edition has been substantially revised and updated, featuring chapters aligned to the newest ISTE standards and material on the latest highly interactive technologies and strategies for teaching and learning.
