Technology in Its Place: Successful Technology Infusion in Schools
"Unlike so many technology cheerleading books that put the cart before the horse, Technology in Its Place shows how to support learning with technology as a means to an end that will appeal to school leaders and planners." (Jamie McKenzie, editor, From Now On-The Educational Technology Journal)"Curriculum planners, technology coordinators, teachers, and school administrators will find much to learn in this rich overview of the promises and the challenges of technology as a tool for improved schooling." (Martin Huntley, director of technology, The Education Alliance, Brown University)"Technology is provoking change worldwide. This book is published just in time to support us all in putting technology in its place in schools and teacher education, thank goodness! Highly recommended for schools and university graduate courses." (Niki Davis, president, Society for Information Technology in Teacher Education) (SITE)"How do educators overcome the gulf between open and flexible networked learning environments and traditional practice? Read this book!" (Jaakko Luukkonen, professor of education, University of Oulu, Finland)"This is a rich collection that will prove illuminating for any team planning to put the horse before the technology cart." (From Now On, 1/02)"Because the focus of the book is on policy issues, it avoids the trap of becoming entrenched in technical references or details of specific technologies." (American School Board Journal, 3/02)
