description: Thirteen American academics contribute eight articles on teacher technology knowledge and effective practices to help teachers acquire that knowledge. Coverage includes an introductory overview of the issue of what teachers should know about technology; the issue as seen from the policymakers, learner-centered education, and computer science perspectives; and three case studies of successful teacher preparation in the use of technology. The essays emphasize that rather than a simple mechanical understanding, teachers' technology knowledge should be closely tied to how technology interacts with the teaching and learning environment.
