Transforming Learning with New Technologies

by Robert W. Maloy, Sharon A. Edwards, Ruth Ellen Verock-O'Loughlin

Interactive, organized by learning goals for teachers and students, and responsive to ISTE standards, "New Teachers/New Technologies: Engaging Students, Teaching Content, Transforming Learning" shows readers how to integrate computers, Internet-based technologies, and emerging Web 2.0 tools to transform teaching and learning in K-12 schools. This practical text introduces students to the multiple ways that technology can create highly interactive, inquiry-based teaching and learning experiences. It features more than 70 free (or low-cost), easy-to-use computer and Internet technologies that teachers can integrate in every aspect of their professional work-classroom instruction--lesson planning, student assessment, curriculum development, academic research, and professional networking--as well as Technology Transformation Lesson Plans, which show teachers how to integrate technology into classroom lessons while expanding and extending learning goals in all subject areas. The text's interactive learning experiences for readers offer thought-provoking questions, lesson plan templates, and links to MyEducationLab, Pearson's premiere online resource with video, tutorials, podcasts, rubrics and checklists, web links and web activities, practice tests, and activities to build teaching skills and dispositions.

This may be the most underwhelming of my GTEP textbooks thus far.

The lists of educational resources and apps compiled by Maloy et al. are interesting, and I may refer back to them as needed during my practicum and early teaching experiences... but everything else was so dry and predictable. I already know that students respond to multimodal teaching methods, so why am I reading hundreds of pages saying exactly that? Or advising me to put photos in my PowerPoint? A big book of "Duh."

Seriously outdated. 90% of the content is based on outdated pre-technology teaching practices from over 10 years ago. The technology references and recommendations are also behind by many years. Data is not current. Huge waste of time and money to select this book for a technology graduate class in 2017.

Leads reader to believe only African Americans and Hispanics experience low income and all white children have technology. Very racist! Children of all races can experience lack of income and resources.

Provided with new ideas for tech integration in the classroom.

Ruth, Sharon, Bev and I wrote this book to show how new interactive technologies can create new patterns of teaching and learning in schools. Our hope is that new teachers will use technology to inspire their students to learn and achieve.
