Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works (2007)

Book Summary:

Building on Robert Marzano’s landmark book, Classroom Instruction That Works (2001), this book links Marzano’s nine categories of effective instructional strategies with educational technology applications, including Gizmos.


Key Findings:

  • Many of Marzano’s nine categories of effective instructional strategies are directly supported by Gizmos, most notably nonlinguistic representation, and generating and testing hypothesis.
  • Gizmos are an effective and engaging way to move students to inquiry-based science and math.
  • Gizmos move students to use higher-level thinking skills.
ExploreLearning's Gizmos are an effective and engaging way to move students to inquiry science and math. We show examples in the book of a number of the nine categories of effective instructional strategies that are truly enhanced by this excellent resource.
