TechnoTeaching: Taking Practice to the Next Level in a Digital World
"Congratulations. Your school has just purchased a cart housing twenty-four tablets. Your principal wants you to roll it right into your classroom and start innovating—tomorrow.”
So begins this engaging and highly accessible guide for practitioners looking for a systematic way to kick their teaching up a notch by combining education technology with best practices in teaching and learning.
Written by two veteran teacher-trainers, TechnoTeaching provides a clear blueprint that educators of all experience levels can use to challenge themselves and their students over a single school year. Through “stellar units,” “dare-devil missions,” and other activities, the authors show how teachers can progressively transform their classrooms by adding new digital and web tools to meet the specific needs of students.
TechnoTeaching includes planning templates, reflection documents, and other resources, making it immediately usable and indispensable for classroom teachers.

About the author
Julie M. Wood
13 books5 followersI am a long-time educator who cares passionately about children, literacy, the thoughtful integration of digital technologies in schools, and closing the achievement gap.
In co-authoring "TechnoTeaching: Taking Practice to the Next Level in a Digital World," I teamed up with Nicole Ponsford, an award-winning teacher and writer from the UK. We met on the Internet and Skyped and emailed our way through several rounds of manuscript. We still have not met!
In writing the "Tug the Pup" series, I was lucky enough to have been approached by HarperCollins to write a series for young readers. I also had the good fortune of working with Sebastien Braun, a terrific children's illustrator.
Beyond writing, I also love Broadway shows, jazz, art, and meeting with my book and writers' groups. Or hanging out at home by the fire with my husband, friends, and shy tiger cat, Cleopatra.
I hope you enjoy these books and would love to hear from you.You can reach me at Jules@technoteachers.com

Great discussion of how to not just use tech for the sake of using tech, but to align it to your standards and tie it into your curriculum.
