ABSTRACT
In keeping with the tsunami of technology available in schools and in educational contexts more generally over the past ten years, there is a burgeoning of information for educators about technology integration in learning and teaching. Therefore you may ask the question, do we actually need another book on the subject? And, if we don’t, then why am I writing this one? How is this book different? Many texts offer suggestions on why laptops make a difference, or how teaching in a digital age must be done and why creative, technology-enhanced classrooms are better than those that don’t have all the bells n’ whistles. Most suggest ways for teachers to use technology to engage students. Only a scant few are grounded in a robust theoretical framework, and probably of those technology integration models that are celebrated, it is TPACK, or the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framework developed by Mishra and Koehler (2006), that is the most well known.
