James A. Bernauer is associate professor of Education at Robert Morris University, Pittsburgh, PA.

Although generally recognized as experts in their field of study, many college professors have little to no background in educational theory. At the same time, they frequently find themselves desperately trying to keep up with new technology and its educational applications. This book aims to address both of these fundamental, yet sometimes neglected, aspects of higher education teaching. . . .[The] text is clearly intended for college and university faculty. That said, many high school teachers may find the merging of learning theory with technology standards to be extremely useful. . . .This is a useful text for any teacher of young adults wanting to improve their use of technology while remaining true to sound pedagogical principles.

If your school is in the process of transitioning to online learning, Integrating Pedagogy and Technology may be the only book you need - it certainly should be one of the first you read. Bernauer and Tomei's work is brimming with very useful information for schools in transition. . . .Another strength of this book is its applicability to various kinds of learners and institutional contexts. This material is valuable whether you are teaching undergraduates, graduate students, or other adult learners. Your field does not matter; this is not one of those texts where everything must be translated in order to be useful to theological or religious-studies faculty. Reflective teachers and institutional administrators concerned about how to develop faculty competencies will both find appropriate and important resources here. . . .This book can be used to assist entire departments in training faculty, generating conversation about the pedagogical sophistication necessary to use technology well, and balancing technological and pedagogical considerations while transitioning to online learning.

[T]his book may provide a structure for discussions about theories and concepts of teaching and learning with technology that could result in improved teaching practice. (Tech Trends)
