This is a really good book recommended by AECT organization. One of the best read for providing teachers with valuable skills and knowledge about educational technology, and how to utilized integrated technology, how students take in information cognitive overload, and is good for telling teachers what technology tools are being utilized in the classroom for the 21st Century.
