Description: “Get real!” asserts the author of this high-octane work. If we are ever to unleash the potential of instructional technology, we need to challenge prevailing attitudes, expectations, and beliefs. Schools needn’t replace existing curricula with dazzling projects requiring the latest hardware of software. In fact, schools already have everything needed to create effective technology-integrated curricula-teachers. The message is: Invest in them, and they will use existing technology to support the development of students’ higher-order thinking skills. This timely work-coming when education and technology have formed a clear bond-provides a logical blueprint for assessing the current situation, overcoming roadblocks, and applying leadership and systems thinking to instructional technology decision making. Includes the author’s Levels of Technology Implementation (LoTI) Framework, an empirically validated assessment tool, and a detailed description of the New Technology Infrastructure – a future vision for the application of instructional technology.
