Excellent book that looks at technology use in education in very new ways July 3, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I think that every teacher would be wise to read this book. It does an excellent job of demonstrating the constructionist principle, and its suggestions for using technology to help students think for themselves and develop new ways of thinking, is very good.
I've read many books on technology and education, and I have taught educators about technology. This has so far been the most intriguing book on the subject, and a book that got me to "think outside the box" (in a good way), more than any other book on the subject, other than the Problem Solving with Technology book in the same series.
instructional designers will love this book May 12, 2000
38 out of 40 found this review helpful
I'm an instructional designer and I've chosen to use this book as both for a text in classes I instruct and as a handbook for working with faculty members at my university. The book focuses on ways to help students think better using technology tools, many of which are commonly available (such as spreadsheets). Many such books focus on ways to use technology first, with practical applications for teaching and learning second. Not so in this case. If you have to buy just one book on instructional technology, this is the one.
