“Educators interested in keeping current can follow this primer, which demonstrates how to shift toward a ‘culture of learning’ that leverages technology for instructional purposes and places the student at the center of it all.”
—Alexandra M. Pickett, Associate Director, SUNY Learning Network, USA (@alexpickett)
“This is a career defining book—for the reader, that is. While the steps and practices outlined focus on emerging technologies, the overarching strategies, ideas, examples, and themes aptly position the reader in the heart and soul of what decades of learning sciences research tells us—that learning is a participatory construct.”
—Susan Gautsch, Director of e-Learning, Pepperdine University, USA
“Michelle Pacansky-Brock’s Best Practices for Teaching with Emerging Technologies is much like its author – full of smart ideas, great examples, and passionate enthusiasm. Above all, Michelle is never in love with the technology – she’s in love with her students and with the process of learning. Her book will serve as an ideal resource for the teacher at any level who wants to make better use of the newest technologies but isn’t sure where to start. Michelle provides a step-by-step guide that shows the best ways to use the latest technologies while always keeping the focus on the student. Technologies may change, but passionate teaching is always in style. ”
—A. Michael Berman, PhD, Vice President for Technology and Communication, California State University Channel Islands
“This book is a ‘must read’ for those interested in technology and education. Michelle’s own practical experiences become a road map for rethinking instructional models in higher education, and provide an appropriately optimistic view of the opportunities ahead.”
—Steve Hargadon, Creator of Classroom 2.0, USA
