Baffled by Wi-Fi? Intrigued by handhelds in the classroom? This book takes a look at where we’ve been in educational technology and where we might be headed. Written by Bard Williams, Ed.D., co-author of Palm Handheld Computers, this new book will help education instructors and technology planners explore and evaluate new directions in educational technology.
Williams takes stock of recent advances and prevailing approaches inside the classroom, weaves in key factors outside the classroom affecting educational technology, and concludes with opinions and forecasts by K–12 educators, tech coordinators, business leaders, IT managers, education professors, and others. No musings by ivory tower consultants or folks who are so far removed from classrooms they can’t see the challenge - just a candid look at the road ahead.
