Teaching for Understanding with Technology shows how teachers can maximize the potential of new technologies to advance student learning and achievement.  It uses the popular Teaching for Understanding framework  that guides learners to think, analyze, solve problems, and make meaning of what they've learned. The book offers advice on tapping into a rich array of new technologies such as web information, online curricular information, and professional networks to research teaching topics, set learning goals, create innovative lesson plans, assess student understanding, and develop communities of learners.  

Teaching for Understanding with Technology is filled with useful tips, questions for reflection, and real-life examples from a range of educational settings that clearly show how teachers can make choices to plan curriculum that integrates new technologies, assemble the materials and assistance needed, manage classroom activities, and develop relationships with colleagues and collaborators within and beyond the classroom.
