"This book is designed to help all educators become leaders in teaching and technology integration. It take the stance that it is important to empower students to be self-directed learners. This book is a standard-based approach-as opposed to a tool-or content-based approach-as our framework for developing, modeling, and teaching the skills and knowledge necessary for achieving technology-enabled teaching and learning throughout your career.

The textbook is divided into 12 chapters, which have all been updated to align with the 2017 ISTE Standards for Educators. The current ISTE standards, along with the previous NETS-T, serve as a road map for inspired teaching and learning, and are credited with creating a target of excellence relating to technology use by teachers. The earliest set of NETS-T defined what teachers needed to know and be able to do with the technology tools that were becoming prevalent in schools. The subsequent 2008 NETS-T Standards inspired by teachers to be creative, innovative digital-age leaders who use technologies to help students learn and thrive in digital world. The current set of ISTE Standards for Educators builds on these previous versions to reflect "an evolution in the teaching profession" and to "focus on the promise technology has for empowering learning." This, textbook, then, is designed to help you translate those ideas and visions into practical student-driven classroom learning experiences through the authentic and meaningful use of technology. Using the principles of SDL as our foundation, the text is designed to help you learn how to evaluate and reflect on professional practice to make informed decisions regarding the use of technology in support of student-driven learning. You will learn to self-assess what you currently know about the technology of the learning requirements at hand, determine what you need to know, access resources to help you address specific instructional challenges, evaluate the validity of those resources in terms of what you know and what you need to know, and evaluate the extent to which the resources will meet your learning needs. As you expand your knowledge through the use of resources found in this book and beyond, you will learn to monitor the effectiveness of your learning and problem-solving strategies. In other words, we "teach you how to fish," rather than simply "give you fish." Although one of the main goal of this book is to help you develop knowledge in the area of technology integration, perhaps more importantly, our goal is to provide you with the number of learning strategies you can use to solve unexpected problems and to build your own understanding of what it means to be an exemplary technology-using teacher. We have included a number of organizational and pedagogical features, some briefly described next, to help you develop these additional forms of knowledge and to build and hone your SDL skills. --Provided by the Publishers
