Essentials of Educational Technology: (part of the Essentials of Classroom Teaching Series) (Paperback)

The newest addition to the Essentials series Essentials of Educational Technology, presents a brief, yet thorough examination of the major aspects of Educational Technology at a length, format, and price perfect for the undergraduate course in this subject. This clear and concisely written text discusses the integration of computer use into the curriculum. Presenting the material as an integrated whole, the authors use the Delta Principle, as described in Chapter Two, throughout the text to teach students to think about the enormous power and potential of technology and its ability to change the way we think and learn. The text relates the material to every major curriculum area and offers accompanying activities and ideas for pre- and in-service teachers. Unlike other educational technology texts, this text goes one step further by preparing students to anticipate and prevent unwanted, negative effects of technology. Additionally, the text offers a wealth of information pertaining to the World Wide Web.
