Summary: Good Overview, Though Dated on Technology
Comment: This book gives a good overview of different teaching techniques based on technology. However, many of the key references are from the 80s and 90s, which dates a lot of material. Technology is clearly moving faster than the educational researchers can keep up. It's really up to the teachers to keep on their feet and come up with their own creative ways of applying technology in their own classrooms. This book can serve as a catalyst to some ideas, but it's not the end all in that regard.
Customer Rating:
Summary: You can find better...keep looking!
Comment: Not that helpful. Very confusing when explaining some information and way overly detailed when explaining other information. There are better resources out there. The class I used this for was very helpful, but the book itself did not teach me anything new. Other books that are more hands on and have you try the things they are talking would be a better buy.

Summary: A must have book for classroom teachers using technology.
Comment: A thorough look at the impact of technology on classroom teaching. Describes technology as a tool for teaching, not as an end in itself. Good description of individualizing teaching for different learners, when you are beginning to use new technology in your classroom. Explains the different uses of different kinds of computer software for educational uses, and is written in a reader-friendly style. I use it in my 'Integrating Computers into the Classroom' course and get very positive feedback from my students on this book.
