Research Model of Technology Integration in Mathematics and Science: A Focus on Charter Schools

This book whose focus is on the promising practicesof using technology in teaching isintended for researchers, school administrators, andteachers of mathematics and science.It explicates the characteristics associated with thepractice; highlighted the resourcesavailable to the schools involved in the study andhow the resources are utilized; exploredthe challenges; and pinpointed the positiveeducational outcomes that come with thepractice of using technology to teach mathematics andscience. School administrators(principal, assistants, and technology specialists)should find the book useful becausethey can incorporate the insights and suggestionsmade throughout the book in thetechnology program of their school. Those interestedin establishing a new school thatwill utilize technology in teaching will also findthe book useful in terms of a curriculumand instructional practices to guide the school'sprogram. The model of networking andcollaboration among teachers in their professionaldevelopment activities shouldparticularly be useful for teachers in both publicand private schools. Researchers canalso replicate this study.
