Riassunto

Integrating Technology for Meaningful Learning, 5/e, provides a unique, inviting approach to introducing the use of technology in the K?12 classroom. Offering an abundance of authentic, hands-on projects, the text provides future classroom teachers with the essential information and motivation to use technology as an everyday tool. The authors strike an important balance between practical applications and theoretical issues so that teachers can concentrate on the connections between learning tasks and the mental activities of students. This new edition offers expanded coverage of the Internet as a tool for communication and inquiry and includes updated coverage of all emergent technologies.

• Coverage of all significant new developments in teaching with technology includes distance learning/online learning at the K?12 level, one-to-one computing trends, the impact of the standards movement on teaching with technology, portfolio assessment and e-portfolios, new multimedia software tools, and helping diverse students learn with technology.
• Up-to-date information on Internet applications and policies?one of the fastest-changing areas in the technology field?includes a discussion of the "deep Web," methods for using the Web to support historical inquiry, and ways in which teachers can address the sense that the abundance of material on the Internet may pose a challenge to their content knowledge.
• Emphasis on higher-order thinking addresses the need for students with unregulated access to the Internet to critically evaluate sources.
• Houghton Mifflin Video Cases, four- to six-minute video modules presenting real classroom scenarios, enable students to observe the day-to-day challenges and rewards of teaching from the convenience of their computers. Available on the Online Teaching and Study Centers, HM Video Cases are enhanced by classroom artifacts, Viewing Questions, Interview Transcripts, Key Terms, and bonus video footage.
• Enhanced! Streamlined presentation featuring a new two-color design adds visual appeal and pedagogical value for students.
• Expanded Online Teaching and Study Centers incorporate more content-area resources for instructors and students. In addition, these text-specific sites offer chapter summaries, direct links to external online resources, a searchable database of web links, and access to HM Video Cases.
