About this title

Synopsis

Making Technology Work in Schools is an easy-to-use guide for transforming your school into a learner-centered, tech-supportive environment. School systems are increasingly adopting ambitious new educational technologies, but how do you make sure they are yielding effective teaching and learning experiences? The authors’ proven, intuitive practices speak directly to academic coaches, school technology leads, district technology directors, and teachers on special assignment who are responsible for introducing new digital tools and programs. Retaining its substantive focus on educational change and the comprehensive PURPOSE Framework, this refreshed second edition updates its real-world examples, practical strategies, and technology categories while adding new content on schoolwide initiatives, needs analysis, professional development, leadership and coaching standards, and more. After reading this book, you will be able to better prepare the educators whom you serve to empower their learners, whether digitally savvy or not, to be engaged, collaborative, and ready for college and careers.
