About the Book

Research indicates that the benefits of computer technology integration do not happen in miraculous way simply because the technology is provided and computer technology can be effective in the classroom only if teachers are knowledgeable of the computer technology as well as how to use this available technology to meet the desired and required educational goals.

This book serves the purposes of students, teachers, pupil-teachers and teacher educators for developing a better understanding about the role and use of computers in teaching and learning. It focuses on pedagogical aspect of computers in education. The book presents the specification for a learning design toolkit, which uses a model of pedagogical approaches as basis for developing effective learning design plans and illustrates its use. Unique feature of the book is that it explains four types of computer pedagogies-behaviourist, cognitivist, constructivist and connectivist.
