Synopsis

Grounded in constructivist teachings this text will help teachers demonstrate ways that technology can be used to engage and support meaningful learning. Much different than the last edition, the 3rd edition of this popular text is now organized around learning processes that engage and support different learning activities such as investigating, exploring, writing, modeling, community buildiing, communicating, designing, visualizing, and assessing. Rather than the reader learning how to use specific technologies this book demonstrates for the reader how learners can use different technologies for meaningful learning.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Learn how teachers can use different technologies to engage and support meaningful student learning. Meaningful Learning with Technology, Fourth Edition, grounded in constructivist teaching, is organized around learning processes such as inquiring, experimenting, writing, modeling, community building, communicating, designing, visualizing, and assessing. Numerous examples from teachers in K-12 classrooms, offer a clear understanding of how technology can be used with all students across grade levels.

 

New to the Fourth Edition:

A Focus on 21st Century Classroom Instruction

    • Gain an understanding of major educational technology and learning standards

        through the review and discussion of three alternative conceptions and standards

        for meaningful learning: ISTE NETS, 21st Century Skills, and Technological

        Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK).

    • See practical examples of how various types of learning activities can align

        with NETS and 21st Century Skills in every chapter.

    • Identify critical issues involved with information literacy and learn effective

        ways to provide support through an expanded section on information literacy

        skills.

    • See how the most current technologies can enable teaching and learning

        through a strong focus on social educational networking and Web 2.0 tools

        for learning and collaboration.

 

A Focus on Practical Technology Application

       • Assessing Characteristics of Meaningful Learning rubrics provide teachers

          with practical tools they need to begin analyzing and assessing the quality of

          their teaching.

      • Examples given to support the learning technologies described in the text

        have been updated to feature more primary grade elementary students’

        meaningful learning with technology.

    • An increased emphasis on high quality, practical application of technologies

        that many teachers currently have available and use for instruction, such as

        interactive whiteboards, PowerPoint, and more, offers readers ideas that can

        be directly applied in the classroom.

Biographie de l'auteur

Jane L. Howland, Ph.D., is an Associate Teaching Professor in the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies at the University of Missouri. After teaching kindergarten and multi-age classrooms at the Stephens College Children’s School, Dr. Howland earned her doctorate in Information Science and Learning Technologies from the University of Missouri.  She has developed and teaches graduate courses related to the use of learning technologies, with an emphasis on K-12 learning environments. Dr. Howland’s current work focuses on designing and evaluating online learning environments in K-12 and higher education. She has been PI on federally funded research projects related to faculty development in using and modeling technology use with preservice teachers and with K-12 teachers’ use of technology for assessing student learning.

 

Dr. David Jonassen is Curators’ Professor at the University of Missouri where he teaches in the areas of Learning Technologies and Educational Psychology.  Since earning his doctorate in educational media and experimental educational psychology from Temple University, Dr. Jonassen has taught at the University of Missouri, Pennsylvania State University, University of Colorado, the University of Twente in the Netherlands, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and Syracuse University.  He has published 35 books and hundreds of articles, papers, and reports on text design, task analysis, instructional design, computer-based learning, hypermedia, constructivism, cognitive tools, and problem solving. His current research focuses on the cognitive processes engaged by problem solving and models and methods for supporting those processes during learning, culminating in the book, Learning to Solve Problems: A Handbook for Designing Problem-Solving Learning Environments.

 

Rose M. Marra, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at the University of Missouri in the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies. Dr. Marra teaches courses on assessment, evaluation and the design and implementation of effective online learning experiences. She holds a Masters degree in Computer Science and worked as a software engineer for AT&T Bell Laboratories before completing her Ph.D. and beginning her career in academia at Penn State University in their College of Engineering. At Penn State, she began her advocacy for and research into women and girls in STEM careers. Specific research interests include factors that influence persistence of women in STEM, women’s self-efficacy in studying and completing STEM degrees, gender differences in perceptions of STEM classroom climates, and the epistemological development of college students. Dr. Marra has been PI or Co-PI on numerous funded research projects including the Assessing Women and Men in Engineering (aweonline.org) and the National Girls Collaborative Project (http://www.psctlt.org/ngcp/).
