Moreover, what should be done to extract genuine benefit from the information and communication technology (ICT) revolution? In this groundbreaking book, technology and education experts Alan Bain and Mark Weston provide research-based evidence for how the widespread application of ICT can provide powerful learning opportunities that lead to lasting gains and achievement. They show how the integrated use of technology at all levels of the educational system can greatly expand  collaborative learning opportunities by giving all educational stakeholders powerful problem-solving tools and solutions. The approaches presented here are grounded in over twenty years of experience working with classroom teachers, school leaders, association members, and policymakers. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Features:\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eA strategic blueprint for using commonly available technology tools to drive measurable and sustainable change in education.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eVignettes of classrooms and schools successfully using technology across the curriculum.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eA solutions-oriented presentation, including practical examples of alternative courses of action at all levels of the education system.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eA concluding section at the end of each chapter that summarizes key ideas.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Bain\u003c/b\u003e is Sub-Dean Curriculum and Faculty Development in the Faculty of Education at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia.\u003cb\u003e Mark E.
