The focus of this research was to explore teacher perceptions of technology integration into the secondary mathematics curriculum. A purposive sample included (n=10) secondary math teachers located in the southwest region of the United States providing results regarding their experiences integrating technology into the mathematics curriculum…

Our consortium of four universities conducted case studies with five teachers in Grades 1 through 4 to explore how elementary teachers are implementing digital curricula, particularly whether they are developing the Mathematical Practices with digital curricula. Through observations with the Mathematics Classroom Observation Protocol for Practices…

This design case illustrates a three-semester-long curricular and instructional design project focusing on the design and implementation of a technology-enhanced case-based learning experience for pre-service teachers within a teaching methods course. This case highlights the iterative process that a teacher educator and an instructional designer…

University lecturers use a wide range of technologies when teaching and there has been much research into how particular technologies are adopted. However, there are also many technologies that, despite early promise, are no longer being used in university teaching and have been abandoned by institutions or individuals. This article presents the…

This essay presents the results of a review of research published in the last 10 years on the uses of what we term "productive" digital technologies in special education contexts. There is little overlap between research on productive technologies such as digital storytelling in mainstream contexts and research on technology use to…

Integrating ICT (Information and Communications Technology) in the learning process is a necessity for a teacher in welcoming the 21st century. Knowledge and modern technology require teachers to learn how to use the technology in their teaching. Edmodo application is a very useful technology product in the learning process. Successful use of…

In this interview, ICT consultant Kish Gué shares his thoughts on how teachers can integrate technology in the classroom. In view of ever-changing technological advances, he believes that teachers should switch to learning at the same time as their students as opposed to teaching them about technology. He provides examples of projects that have…

Learning and teaching practices within higher education have changed surprisingly little over the last 20 years. Other sectors, such as banking, music and publishing, have been turned upside down by digital technology, but the UK's research and education sector has yet to fully exploit the potential of new technologies. Pockets of innovation are…

Technological advances in digital video and videoconference technology around the early 2000s led a number of researchers to investigate the practicalities of using videoconferencing technology for instrumental music teaching in online and blended learning contexts. Technical and instructional strategies were developed and recommendations made…

Background: Educators in the United States and internationally have become increasingly interested in incorporating international perspectives into curricula, programs, and policy (Hayden, 2011; Parker, 2011). Rooted in a long history of international education (Dolby & Rahman, 2008), these efforts have been described variously as…

A breakthrough in the development of online learning occurred with the utilization of Learning Management Systems (LMS) as a tool for creating, distributing, tracking, and managing various types of educational and training material. Since the appearance of the first LMS, major technological enhancements transformed this tool into a powerful…

Purpose: This study aims to examine the attributes of meaningful learning that student teachers perceived as enabling them to improve their digital pedagogy. It is concerned with how the meaningful learning activities help to prepare student teachers to successfully integrate digital technologies in their future teaching practice. Methodology:…

A virtual world was created using the popular sandbox game Minecraft to support the development of preservice teachers' knowledge for teaching mathematics. Preservice teachers explored the virtual world for a geometry activity involving area and volume problems. They then discussed how this integration of technology could support students'…

Aim/Purpose: The study aimed to examine teacher educators' perceptions regarding their ability to implement innovative pedagogies following a year during which they used a newly equipped Active Learning Classroom (ALC), designed for teacher training. Background: To this end, we asked how participants perceived the effective use of the ALC and how…

Today's new digital technologies and the spread of the internet have created numerous new opportunities and challenges for the education of the future. The rapid development of mobile and ubiquitous computing technology offered more chances to design and develop innovative learning approach with mobile devices in preparing schools and students for…
