The distinctive characteristic of TEACHING WITH TECHNOLOGY, Second Edition is its clear correlation between theory and practice. This text focuses on ways to use technology to foster learning in K-12 classrooms, instead of presenting the mechanics of computer operation. Norton and Wiburg's chapters are not based on computer applications; they are based instead on how technology can support student acquisition of literacy, content knowledge, problem-solving, participating in communities, and student utilization of information and systems of assessment.
