4.0 out of 5 stars It's getting older by the second..., August 28, 2003

This review is from: Instructional Technology for Teaching and Learning: Designing Instruction, Integrating Computers, and Using Media (Paperback)

I bought this book for a class (California Teaching Credential, manditory class). It's a good book for those who have no idea how to handle technology. There are lesson plan ideas and thought bubbles and very good definitions. For those who do know a thing or two about computers will see how dated this book has already become. I didn't feel as that it was worth buying new, and will probably sell it back, if it can be sold back.

This review is from: Instructional Technology for Teaching and Learning: Designing Instruction, Integrating Computers, and Using Media (Paperback)

I think this book does an excellent job of explaining the basics of educational technology (instructional design) to novice pre-service teachers. I would recommend this to anyone without prior knowledge in designing instructional materials; even at the graduate level!
