Technology integration requires systemic reform, which must be supported by the entire school community. While the ISTE NETS for Teachers help set the stage for systemic reform of instructional practice, most teachers and administrators need help to implement and sustain change on this scale. This book provides readings and activities that will support classroom teachers, professional development providers, and teacher preparation instructors as they strive to incorporate 21st century learning tools and skills into daily practice. —Susan Brooks-Young
