This paper intends to provide an understanding of pedagogical integration of ICTs to facilitate ICT teacher preparation that promotes productive use of these digital technologies in the classroom. A qualitative multicase study of three school teachers selected for their successful ICT pedagogical integration into their teaching was conducted in…

Research in digital libraries (DLs) has gained much interest across the globe. Most funding related to DL are available for building DLs, rather than producing digital librarians by developing the DL curricula and offering necessary funding to introduce state-of-the-art DL labs for future library professionals. Based on online surveys, this…

With the evolving technologies available to educators and the increased importance of including technologies in the classroom, it is critical for instructors to understand how to successfully utilize these emerging technologies within their curriculum. To ensure they are prepared, further study on the best practices and challenges of…

The two purposes of the phase of the investigation described in this article are to: (1) follow up on some of the results of a multiple regression study by Pan, Sivo, and Goldsmith (2016) on learner perceived success in eLearning that is explained by four factors: perceived course management system support by the university (coded, USC), perceived…

Many children struggle with writing. As a case study, Jane is a fourth-grade student with a learning disability with writing goals and objectives in her Individual Education Plan. Teachers can use students' recent writing samples and questionnaire responses (e.g., what do you find challenging about writing?) as a guide to find tools and strategies…

There is an urgent need to understand how often teachers use information and communication technologies (ICT) in mathematics instruction. This information can provide vital links that can help stakeholders make connections about ICT use in mathematics instruction and student learning experiences with ICT. Scholars in the field have reported on the…

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate 152 pre-service and in-service school teachers' perceptions toward Web 2.0 applications and their usage in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used. The data were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics and independent sample t-tests. The descriptive…

School districts are increasingly turning to iPads as a mechanism to increase student engagement and achievement and innovate teaching and learning. Research shows this is a feasible, albeit challenging goal. In this article, we examine the case of a large-scale iPad rollout in the Los Angeles Unified School District in 2013. Using institutional…

The Professional Development School (PDS) can serve as a catalyst for the professional development of mathematics pre-service as well as in-service teachers. In the present research, we describe lower-secondary in-service mathematics teachers' development of ICT integration in their teaching. This is done through the Innovation Diffusion Model of…

This article describes how misunderstandings about eTexts may misguide educators when choosing how to incorporate eTexts into teaching and learning. A review of the existing literature finds that generalizations across different types and forms of eTexts and a reader's purpose and proficiency yield only more confusion. However, having a better…

Many researchers and educators believe that reading and writing instruction needs to change in order to reflect the multimodal, technological, interactive nature of communication today. To date, few studies have examined how touchscreen devices may influence primary school students' reading and writing practices. Guided by Vygotsky's notion of…

Improving face-to-face (f2f) interaction in large classrooms is a challenging task as student participation can be hard to initiate. Thanks to the wide adoption of personal mobile devices, it is possible to blend digital and face-to-face interaction and integrate co-located social media applications in the classroom. To better understand how such…
