This review is from: Great Teaching in the One Computer Classroom (Paperback)

This slim book contained little that I, as an experienced computer user and long-time teacher of science using computers in the classroom, found new or original. However, it does present what I consider to be a very solid, basic list of ideas for using the computer gathering dust in the corner of your room. Included in this book are such suggestions as using the computer for demonstrations, projecting the screen for large - scale instruction, and of course using the computer for grading and classroom management. References and limited instructions would be useful to a beginner as well. A good book for the new teacher or the old teacher who has avoided technology. For us experienced folks, beg or borrow a copy, then skim over it, for there's not much here that an old hand hasn't tried. Maybe your library or department chair should invest in a copy...
