Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Integration methods should be based in both learning theory and teaching practice.
Integration should match specific teaching and learning needs.
Old integration strategies are not necessarily bad; new strategies are not necessarily good.
Using these three premises as a foundation, this book presents effective theory- and research-based strategies for integrating technology resources and technology-based methods into everyday classroom practices. It is written from the teacher's perspective, making it ideal for both novice and experienced computer users. Unique coverage of integrating technology into specific content areas in Part IV demonstrates how to use technology to teach language arts, social studies, science, math, music, art, phys ed/health, and special education, rather than just providing generic strategies. For practicing teachers and computer users. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent textbook presentation, February 23, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Grand Rapids. Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This book is an excellent resource for teachers and schools looking to train teachers in the use of educational technology. The focus is not using technology for technology's sake, but integrating technology into the classroom. A very balanced approach--technology is used to enhance education and motivate students, it will not improve education just by simply bringing it into your classroom. Probably equally as good for teaching a college course.

This review is from: Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching (4th Edition) (Paperback)

I used a book of Roblyers for a MA class and again for a Dr. class from different schools. A very well published author. Good information. Does an excellent job of staying updated through editions (which you need to when writing about technology!).
