Global Perspectives on Teaching with Technology

Global Perspectives on Teaching with Technology presents a wealth of current research on how teacher education and training programs around the world are preparing teachers to integrate and apply learning technologies across subjects, grade levels, and regions. Digital tools are more integral than ever to an accessible and well-rounded education, although their rapid evolution and proliferation necessitate new guidance into their effective integration and intended outcomes. This book provides graduate students, faculty, and researchers of teacher education, as well as trainers of in-service teachers with field-tested frameworks, evidence-based theories and models, and real-world examples of the complexities and affordances of teaching with technology. Internationally sourced to reflect today's richly diverse and globalized learner populations, the case studies collected here offer fresh approaches for teacher educators and a springboard for education researchers studying how practitioners can thrive in their classrooms and foster equity among students.
