He makes it a point that we as educators and a learning community need to stay current with the advancement of technology in order to benefit our children and young adults’ education in today's world. -- Dr. Kenneth D. Brubaker Jr., assistant professor, Ashland University\u003cbr\u003eThere are many books about technology and teaching, but it is rare to find one that is so firmly grounded in both best practice and theory. Dr. Martin uses his experience from years of teaching and of working in public education to bring the reader ideas that are useful and challenging. I recommend Blending Instruction with Technology as a text as well as for personal professional reading. This view from the field is solidly based on what we know of technology, teaching, and learning and makes the volume a thorough and useful resource. -- Ann Converse Shelly, executive secretary of the World Federation of Associations for Teacher Education; professor emerita, Ashland University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpigraph Preface Acknowledgments Introduction Chapter 1: Schools \u0026amp; Classrooms are Becoming Dangerously Irrelevant Chapter 2: Blended Learning…?
