"Instructors are pressured to integrate technology into traditional or online instruction. This book offers a hands-on resource that shows how to integrate technology into lessons, offers information about common technologies, categorizing by groups, and explains the purposes they serve pedagogically and how they can be most effectively used in online or face-to-face classrooms. In addition to examples, each chapter will feature a decision-making matrix to help instructors decide whether a tool is needed based on curriculum objectives or a specific organizational or curricular problem."--
