Features: This book focuses on how students can become thinkers and problem-solvers by using information technology in the post-IT era, and how teachers can use information technology for teaching innovation, designing more effective learning environments. It not only helps teachers understand the importance of various information technologies in instructional design but also emphasizes how to integrate information technology with curriculum and students' experiences to assist them in decision-making and effective problem-solving. The book's rich examples provide strong guidance and reference value for teachers' instructional practices. It is also highly suitable for researchers and administrators in related fields. From a perspective that combines theory and practice, the book interprets new challenges and ideas in education and teaching. Today's students are in a society and position very different from those they will live in in the future, so teaching must not only enable them to acquire the wealth of knowledge of predecessors but also cultivate the essential skills for life in an information society during their student years, including the ability to collect, evaluate, create new information, and communicate with others.
