Teaching with Technology: Integrating Technology Into the Tesol Classroom – hinnat ja saatavuus

Since the turn of the century, emerging technologies, along with their use in educational contexts, have seen a number of radical changes occur within the learner landscape, and these have impacted both teachers and students. This has seen changes in the way that learners engage with content and interact with instructors. Technological advancement has been rapid, and its impact on teaching and learning is ever-constant. This has led to a need for educators to continually assess and consider the implication that new and emerging technologies hold for their teaching contexts, their professional development, and the skills possessed and required by their students. It is here that the value of this book becomes apparent, as practitioners will be able to walk away with a greater understanding of how to best employ various aspects of technology-driven learning, instruction, and assessment techniques when teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) from a variety of pedagogical contexts. In this book, the use of more 'traditional' software tools and classroom staples are reexamined for educational advantage in the digital era and for use with 21st century learners. Specifically covered topics are: making meaning from experience with digital storytelling, development of interactive multimedia-based presentations with Prezi, and means of supporting and supplementing instruction with podcasts and screencasts. This book is intended to be read in whole or in part by teachers, students, parents, and any other stakeholders who may be interested in the topics.
