Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching, 6e, " the leading Educational Technology text on the market, introduces the concept of Technology Integration, shows pre-service teachers how to plan for Technology Integration, and offers them the opportunity to practice Technology Integration when designing curriculum to support and shape learning. "Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching, 6e" presents a comprehensive technology integration framework built on both research and proven classroom practices. The Technology Integration Planning Model (TIP Model) shows teachers how to create an environment in which technology can effectively enhance learning. This sixth edition shows how to incorporate the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (Tech-PACK) framework into the TIP Model. 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. Using 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. The goal of this edition is for teachers to see more clearly their role in shaping the future of technology in education. This book illustrates that great education means employing technologies to fulfill the vision they make possible: a worldwide social network and a global community that learns and grows together.
This book lacks so much....I don't know where to begin.
It is incredibly challenging to read. It reads as if the authors wrote whatever came to mind without any sense of editing or supervision. The thousands of terms/vocabulary words they just magician-ed out of nowhere was so unnecessary and confusing. I pray someone comes up with a different book than this soon, my heart goes out to the future students who will have to endure this.
The chapter summary notes do not include what page you can go back to locate the full text of the highlighted material. The questions are in a very odd format, some bullet points will include a single question, some will include several. The book could actually serve a purpose if it wasn't bogged down in hundreds of pages of unnecessary text. I do not recommend it at all.
I read this book for research while writing my masters project. I found it to be very helpful and useful in organizing my thoughts. It gives lists of resources per educational area (free and not-so-free). If you are looking for something with ready-made lessons, then you may be disappointed. With such an enormous topic as ICT in education, there is no way to find a "go to" source. Nevertheless, I feel like this book did a good job.
This is a great book for anyone who doesn't know what this new-fangled "email" or "blog" stuff is. Otherwise it's a very, very basic primer on using technological tools in the classroom.
This is a very helpful book for helping teachers know how to integrate technology into the classroom effectively. Lots of vivid examples and videos from the book.
