The focus of this book is on general concepts andthe theory and research on teaching, learning and technology ratherthan on hands-on assignments at the computer. It is most suitable forthose who already have basic computing skills and who are more focusedon issues of integration of technology in the classroom. It is gearedtoward answering the question: What would a teacher do differently ifs/he used computers in her/his classroom? This book links actualpractice to both underlying theories of teaching and learning, helpingreaders develop their own framework for thinking about educationalcomputing. Covers constructivist models oftechnology use, hypermedia and multimedia, and educational telecommunications. This edition also contains many screen shots toillustrate how programs look and operate. This book isintended for undergraduate or graduate courses on the use ofinformation technologies in education.

It's a book all teachers should have. If you have any problem when or where in finding the new technology in edcution, it's the one. Once you read Ch8 "Integrating Information Techonlogy into The Curriculum," you will understand the advantage of this book. However, it is too expensive.
