Integrating Computer Technology into the Classroom (3rd ed.)

This book presents a rationale and an inquiry-based model for integrating computer technology into the classroom curriculum, by using it as a tool for problem solving rather than as an instructional delivery device.

The 10-step NTeQ model remains the same as in previous editions, but with refined concepts and increased emphasis on the role of teacher as designer.

The book's approach stresses the student's use of the computer to solve real-world problems while learning.

The features of the third edition are: Check It Out feature lists Web-based activities and examples that are directly related to examples given throughout the textbook; the Power Tips provide ideas for using specific software or computer features and often include a listing of valuable resources; the Teacher's Diary offers practical tips, suggestions, and encouragement from K-12 teachers who are integrating computers into their classrooms; the chapters feature the ISTE NETS; T standards addressed by that chapter's content; classroom scenarios highlight successful computer integration lessons that have been implemented by K-12 teachers.
