Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works, 2nd Edition

About This Book

Technology is ubiquitous, and its potential to transform learning is immense. The first edition of Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works answered some vital questions about 21st century teaching and learning: What are the best ways to incorporate technology into the curriculum? What kinds of technology will best support particular learning tasks and objectives? How does a teacher ensure that technology use will enhance instruction rather than distract from it?

This revised and updated second edition of that best-selling book provides fresh answers to these critical questions, taking into account the enormous technological advances that have occurred since the first edition was published, including the proliferation of social networks, mobile devices, and web-based multimedia tools. 

It also builds on the up-to-date research and instructional planning framework featured in the new edition of Classroom Instruction That Works, outlining the most appropriate technology applications and resources for all nine categories of effective instructional strategies:

  • Setting objectives and providing feedback
  • Reinforcing effort and providing recognition
  • Cooperative learning
  • Cues, questions, and advance organizers
  • Nonlinguistic representations
  • Summarizing and note taking
  • Assigning homework and providing practice
  • Identifying similarities and differences
  • Generating and testing hypotheses

Each strategy-focused chapter features examples—across grade levels and subject areas, and drawn from real-life lesson plans and projects—of teachers integrating relevant technology in the classroom in ways that are engaging and inspiring to students. 

The authors also recommend dozens of word processing applications, spreadsheet generators, educational games, data collection tools, and online resources that can help make lessons more fun, more challenging, and—most of all—more effective.

Reviews and Testimonials

"[Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works 2nd Edition] is a 'big-picture' book that surveys the field of technological tools and helps the teacher connect with the kinds of technology she might wish to use in the classroom. Educators in the classroom up to district leaders, who are interested in what kinds of tools teachers and students can use with research-based instruction, will find this book quite useful."

—John Robinson, principal, North Carolina

"[Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works, 2nd Edition] does a great job at addressing how technology can be used across a variety of classroom settings. … It is a good jumping-off point for educators looking to use technology to support teaching and learning in their classrooms."

—Mary Beth Hertz, technology teacher, Philadelphia, Pa.
This review first appeared in the Philly Teacher blog.

"The authors here are intent on showing and demonstrating how thoughtful technology planning by the teacher leads to classrooms full of engaged students who can dive deep into content-area exploration in a variety of genres, formats, and assessments. … [Readers] will find plenty of examples and strategies that can provide a nice road forward into using technology to plan instruction and also engage students in learning."

—Kevin Hodgson, 6th grade teacher, Southampton, Mass.
This review first appeared on Middleweb.

"I was constantly tabbing pages of ideas that I then shared with a variety of teachers in our district. … This book is a great resource to get started with learning ways to integrate technology into the classroom with purpose."

—Jessica Johnson, elementary principal, Juneau, Wisc.
