Integrating Teaching and Technology: A Matrix for Professional Faculty Development provides college faculty and administrators with the foundations for a new model for integrating the two most critical dimensions of teaching and learning, pedagogy and technology: the Integrated Readiness Matrix (IRM). Integrating Teaching and Technology began as dialogue among the authors and their university peers focusing on how best to integrate technology into instruction. Achieving this goal requires all faculty to be conversant with the theories of learning, the taxonomies and domains of learning, and a new methodology for preparing and developing college faculty for a career of classroom teaching. Only by building on a foundation of educational theories can we “meet students where they are” while designing instruction that fosters student growth and achievement.
Although generally recognized as experts in their field of study, many college professors have little to no background in educational theory. At the same time, they frequently find themselves desperately trying to keep up with new technology and its educational applications. This book aims to address both of these fundamental, yet sometimes neglected, aspects of higher education teaching. . . .[The] text is clearly intended for college and university faculty. That said, many high school teachers may find the merging of learning theory with technology standards to be extremely useful. . . .This is a useful text for any teacher of young adults wanting to improve their use of technology while remaining true to sound pedagogical principles.
