Kevin E. Johnson & Susan Manning 
The Technology Toolbelt for Teaching [EPUB ebook] 

Instructors are under pressure to integrate technology into
their traditional or online instruction, but often they aren’t sure
what to do or why they should do it. The Technology Toolbelt for
Teaching offers instructors a down-to-earth guide to common
technologies, explains the pedagogical purposes they serve, and
shows how they can be used effectively in online or face-to-face
classrooms.
Designed to be easy to use, the book includes a decision-making
matrix for each technology tool: a series of questions that
teachers can use to decide whether these tools support their
teaching goals.
This comprehensive resource contains an array of useful tools
that address problems of organization such as a time management
calendar, aids for scheduling meetings, and mind-mapping or graphic
organizers. The authors also include a variety of online tools for
communication and collaboration, and tools to present content, help
establish presence, and assess learning.
Praise for The Technology Toolbelt for Teaching
‘Feeling overwhelmed and even afraid of integrating technology
into your course? Fear no more! Susan Manning and Kevin Johnson
have provided the ultimate guide that explains not only the various
technology tools that can support faculty work and enhance
coursework but also provides sound advice to help faculty choose
the right tool for the job. This is a must-read for all faculty
regardless of their experience with technology.’–Rena M.

Group, and authors, Building Online Learning Communities and

‘The Technology Toolbelt for Teaching delivers exactly what it
promises: a concrete overview of a wide variety of tools, complete
with examples specific to practitioners in both K-12 and
higher education. Authors Susan Manning and Kevin Johnson provide
practical applications rather than philosophy, and solutions rather
than platitudes. This is a must for any teacher working
with–or wanting to start working
with–technology.’–Jane Bozarth, author, Social Media for
Trainers; e Learning coordinator, State of North Carolina
‘Creating compelling learning experiences for students is
fraught with decision points. Add one or more technology options to
the equation, and the number of directions to take learners seems
to grow limitlessly, and can either paralyze the instructional
design process or cause us to take on too much. Enter The
Technology Toolbelt for Teaching. Manning and Johnson’s handy guide
– and the decision-making matrix that frames each of the tools
it demystifies – is an essential resource for choosing paths
wisely.’–Jonathan Finkelstein, author, Learning in Real Time;
founder and executive producer, Learning Times
