This compilation of thought-provoking ISTE articles illustrates how infusing technology can empower learners and inspire meaningful learning experiences in the classroom and beyond. Edtech can take many forms in K-12 education, not all of which result in learning experiences that prepare students to be future innovators and problem-solvers. Similarly, educators aren’t always provided with training or given the opportunity to maximize technology to its full potential. Without a road map or chance to see the tool in action, it can be difficult to know how best to implement it. Edtech for the K-12 Classroom is designed to empower current and future teachers to use technology effectively in their classrooms and schools. In this second edition, educators share their stories along with powerful tips for leveraging edtech meaningfully by connecting the ISTE Standards, a road map for transforming education with technology. The articles in this edition explore research-based approaches to teaching with technology, considerations for ensuring equity and inclusion, emerging technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence (AI), and more. Included in the second edition: • Examples for aligning lessons to the ISTE Standards to empower learners to be effective communicators, computational thinkers, innovative designers, global collaborators and digital citizens. • Digital resources – including videos, infographics and templates — for deeper learning. • Stories and tips from educators providing guidance on integrating technology, with suggestions for specific grade levels and subject areas. • Discussion questions to guide conversations about meaningful technology integration. Educators should never feel they must go it alone. This connects the reader to a community of passionate educators who offer lessons learned and guidance on the transformative power of technology for education. Audience: Students in teacher education programs and teacher educators

Teaching is a demanding profession as there is constant fluctuation and evolution. A portion of teaching is the ability to be able to adapt to various environments, especially shifting from in-person instruction to online practices. Over the last few years, early childhood and elementary school classrooms have been thrust into hybrid and remote learning environments, and it is vital that educators and institutions adapt to new practices and create various outlets for teachers to be able to more adequately reach their young audience. The Handbook of Research on Adapting Remote Learning Practices for Early Childhood and Elementary School Classrooms is a critical resource to assist teachers as they develop online teaching practices and work to cater to young students so that they can receive the strongest benefits from their education. Through coverage of topics such as hybrid learning and parental involvement, paired with sample lesson plans, course formats, concepts, ideas, and additional components to further the body of research pertaining to remote learning, this book is tremendously beneficial to administrators, researchers, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
