This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Technology in Education, ICTE 2014, held in Hong Kong, in July 2014. The 18 revised full papers and 4 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on application of mobile technologies in e-learning; technology advancement in e-learning systems; innovations in e-learning pedagogy; open education and institution e-learning policy.

Universities continue to struggle in their efforts to fully integrate information and communications technology within their activities. Based on examination of current practices in technology integration at 25 universities worldwide, this book argues for a radical approach to the management of technology in higher education. It offers recommendations for improving governance, strategic planning, integration of administrative and teaching services, management of digital resources, and training of technology managers and administrators. The book is written for anyone wanting to ensure technology is integrated as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Education is the key to America's economic growth and prosperity and to our ability to compete in the global economy. It is the path to higher earning power for Americans and is necessary for our democracy to work. It fosters the cross-border, cross-cultural collaboration required to solve the most challenging problems of our time. The National Education Technology Plan 2010 calls for revolutionary transformation. Specifically, we must embrace innovation and technology which is at the core of virtually every aspect of our daily lives and work. This book explores the National Education Technology Plan which presents a model of learning powered by technology, with goals and recommendations in five essential areas: learning, assessment, teaching, infrastructure and productivity.

This book provides an overview of professional development programs that have demonstrated long-term success through assessment of outcomes. The models described here explore approaches that expand teachers' knowledge, skill, and confidence in using technology tools in teaching and learning environments, with the focus on improving teaching and learning rather than on the technology use. Models discussed include in-house, peer-coaching, learning circles, action research, outside leaders and partners, networked learning communities, and working for systemic change.

For courses in educational technology. Effective ways to teach with technology Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching gives teachers a solid foundation to incorporate transformative technology in their classrooms. Learning theories and research-based practices model how to effectively plan, select and evaluate technology use across 12 content areas. Hands-on exercises and sample lessons help teachers develop the insight and skills they need to become technology leaders. The 9th Edition keeps pace with the evolving role of technology in education, reflecting current tools, methods and research. New features address digital inequity issues that affect children's educational success. Hallmark features of this title A technology integration planning model provides a guide to design pedagogy that is responsive to instructional, curricular or learning challenges. Discipline-specific chapters show how to use technology effectively in 12 content areas. Technology Integration in Action scenarios model how to select and use technology to solve specific classroom problems. Technology Integration examples offer lesson ideas that correlate to the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards for Students (2016) and/or state standards. Teacher Growth sections offer strategies for continued learning, advancing leadership in technology integration and a self-assessment rubric. Technology Integration Workshops provide hands-on opportunities to plan, apply and evaluate lessons. New and updated features of this title NEW: Digital Equity and Justice features in each chapter highlight issues that affect children's learning. Practical suggestions help teachers examine issues in locally relevant ways and advocate for their students. NEW: Emphasis on the value of social constructivism in digital learning. While both directed and social constructivist theories are discussed in detail, social constructivist approaches situate children in more active, hands-on learning. NEW: Coverage prepares teachers to teach in online or hybrid classrooms due to physical separation during disasters like the global COVID-19 pandemic or local forest fires. Chapters highlight ways to provide high-quality online learning experiences for every student. UPDATED: Examples and research-based perspectives reflect real educational technology practices in real schools. UPDATED: Top 10 Must-Have Technologies, written by subject matter experts, detail recent and helpful educational technologies in each content area. The LMS-Compatible Assessment Bank streamlines assessments and grading NEW: Learning outcome quizzes, application exercises and automatically graded chapter tests can be assigned from a packaged file. Questions give students feedback and model responses based on their answers. Features of Pearson eText for the 9th Edition UPDATED/NEW: Video Examples, including authentic classroom videos and interviews with experts in the field, expand on principles or concepts in each chapter, helping put the reading into context. UPDATED: Artifacts promote deeper understanding with links to self-assessments, the RAT Matrix, a Technology Impact Checklist, and a Technology Lesson Plan Evaluation Checklist. Other artifacts like the Multimedia Checklist and the Online Discussion Rubric can be adopted or adapted into lessons. Associated questions guide students to think and make decisions like a teacher. UPDATED: Interactive Glossary lets students quickly build their professional vocabulary as they read.

The purpose of this work is to encourage faculty and those responsible for faculty development to capture a vision of the great promise technology has for educators and a means of tapping into some of these possibilities.

Digital and social technologies are changing the education field. Interactive whiteboards and blackboards, e-books, and computer-mediated communication are accelerating the processes of the evolving classroom. These technologies continue to support problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills among students. Transforming K-12 Classrooms with Digital Technology brings together research and practices regarding digital and social technology integration in the K-12 classroom. By sharing practical and conceptual aspects of using digital and social technologies as tools for transforming K-12 learning environments, this reference source is essential for teachers, support staff, school and district administrators, college students, and researchers working teaching and learning in the digital era.
