This guide describes ways to use technology in the classroom, keyed to the nine categories of instructional strategies presented in Classroom Instruction That Works: Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement (2001). Each chapter begins with an overview of the strategy and gives recommendations for using the strategy in the classroom, then provides specific examples of technologies that support the strategy. All chapters include teacher-and student-created examples, many of which reflect actual lessons plans, projects, and technology products. Directions for the use of hardware and software have been kept to a minimum, so that the book can be used as a practical guide, not a procedural manual. The guide concludes with advice for planning technology in the classroom, and includes a lesson plan template. Pitler is director of educational technology for a private sector organization.
