Technology Integration for Meaningful Classroom Use: A Standards-Based Approach

by Katherine S. Cennamo, Peggy A. Ertmer, John D. Ross

Updated and streamlined for easier use, TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION FOR MEANINGFUL CLASSROOM A STANDARDS-BASED APPROACH, Second Edition, equips readers with the knowledge, creative and critical thinking skills, and confidence needed to become "self-directed learners" who can successfully navigate the constantly changing environment of technology integration in the classroom. Using the principles of self-directed learning as its foundation, the book aims to help readers learn to evaluate and reflect on professional practice to make informed decisions regarding the use of technology in support of student learning. The first educational technology book organized around the 2008 National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T) developed by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), this standards-based approach provides the framework for developing, modeling, and teaching the skills and knowledge necessary for integrating technology in authentic teaching and learning. An end-of-book supplement provides examples of technology integration in practice within specific content areas, guided by the national standards that apply to each content domain.

This book is really just a pointless waste of time if you’re an educator who grew up during or after the 90s. So much of it just read like filler material or regurgitated information from an Introduction to Education course, but just simply telling you what kinds of technologies you can use.

Also, can we talk about the amount of typos and grammatical errors in this book? Did it even have an editor?

This should be a quarter of the length that it is. It had some good ideas for integrating tech into various classrooms, but I about died reading it. I ended up only skimming and reading the portions with definitions that I knew would end up on exams because a majority of the content is just fluff and repetition and, therefore, a waste of my precious time. Anyone who knows me knows I don't skim read textbooks... so this is a special case.

Text book for my graduate class. Very informative about using technology in a classroom.

Waste of time...

What was the sense of this study? Could not find the link between technology and written material. Editors were verbose - I would rather prefer if they used simple language. I am not of the opinion that studying this gave me something important, and, honestly, my reading of it was simply due to the examination on 'Modern Educational Technology' course... God knows what I have written down on my exam paper!

Any individual who would like to read this "guidebook": do not waste your time! I bet you could find better books on technology integration.

Just leave it.
