Marzano and Technology

Education researcher Dr. Robert Marzano is widely known among educators for his nine research--based  instructional practices. Dr. Marzano is the author of many books relating to different aspects of the art of teaching and learning. His first book which outlined the nine instructional practices is entitled Classroom Instruction That Works. Recently, Howard Pitler, Elizabeth R. Hubbell, Matt Kuhn, and Kim Malenoski authored the book Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works. In this book, the authors provide examples and technology methods to use that correlate with each Marzano instructional practice. I highly recommend using this book as a resource as you integrate technology into your classroom. In relation to TPACK, technology should be used to serve an instructional purpose, not only skill and drill. If Marzano practices are being used in your school, aligning technology to these practices will ensure that you are using technology for a purpose. In addition to the book  Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works, bookmark the wiki Technology That Works as a resource for planning technology integration. This wiki has very basic, yet insightful resources in aligning technology with Marzano's instructional practices. The wiki is updated frequently as readers are asked collaborate by adding their own technology integration ideas and experiences to the wiki.
