After billions of dollars, thousands of studies, and immeasurable effort by educators at all levels, why is the performance of students and teachers so unaffected by technology? 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.

This book appeals to the aspiring or veteran teacher who wants to be innovative in their approach or management to teaching in the classroom. While there are many “how to” books out there to help teachers with methods to be effective in the classroom, the “Little Book for Teachers Who Think Big,” emphasizes how a teacher should teach in the current standardized testing environment. This is critical for today's teacher to understand how to practically teach and to be effective in behavior and time management, student issues, lesson planning, and maintaining a balance of our professional and personal life.There were over 25 current and retired teachers who were interviewed for this book that provided their advice, along with the author, to improve the classroom experience for teachers and their students. This book contains three main categories, the Landscape, Effective Teaching, and the Teaching Life. We take a unique look at how education has changed and how teachers need to adapt to those changes. The last chapter in this book contains inspirational stories provided by teachers from across the age spectrum. We need these types of stories to urge us to continue to be the best that we can be in our individual classrooms and schools.
