2.0 out of 5 stars Wrong Target Audience, November 8, 2007

Kevin Fitton "History Teacher" (IL, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Computers for Twenty-First Century Educators (6th Edition) (Paperback)

I hate to say it, but this book is targeted for the wrong audience...teachers are looking for practical information, not technical information that only a person with support experience would want to know. Using this in an education class is a poor option.
