Bringing Technology into the Classroom

Bringing Technology into the Classroom works from the premise–one held by many educators–that classrooms are very boring places, although they don’t have to be. Thus, the primary purpose of the book is to show the importance of technology in education and the new possibilities it holds for so-called ‘smart classes.’ Another purpose of the text is to show readers the availability of diverse tools, and their applicability to teaching with technology, either in or out of the classroom. Gordon Lewis successfully illustrates how simple it is to respond to students’ individual differences. He also shows the value of investing in as many options as possible for the students, in order to allow them to select whatever interests them, while taking into account the considerable range of pedagogies in teaching and education.
