Quality Text for Educational Technology,
By Marit Grovum (Stuttgart, Germany) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Teachers Discovering Computers: Integrating Technology and Digital Media in the Classroom, Fourth Edition (Shelly Cashman Series) (Paperback)
I like using this text because it is well laid-out. The diagrams are easy to read, follow, and learn from. The explanations are clear and focused. Each chapter has a summary and review. The on-line text complements and reinforces the text by supplementing with more information, by offering links to websites, and by including interactive summaries and quizzes for each chapter.

Common knowledge textbook,
By Englteach2009 (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teachers Discovering Computers: Integrating Technology and Digital Media in the Classroom, Fourth Edition (Shelly Cashman Series) (Paperback)
It seems like the department of education decided that teachers need an information technologies class to earn a credential and then they scrambled around to find an author to write a supporting text. So much of the information is common knowledge - software, hardware, world wide web etc . . . Seems like a waste of time and money. If you are in a post-bacc program and you don't know what an operating system is or how to open an application, then you probably should get out while the getting is good. However, there are a few nuggets of information that are applicable. For example, in the software chapter, there is a step-by-step description of how to design a classroom website. It is very detailed and informative. I might photocopy that section before I sell the book back. Hope this info helps.

Great book for teachers!,
By Holly Go-Lightly (PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teachers Discovering Computers: Integrating Technology and Digital Media in the Classroom, Fourth Edition (Shelly Cashman Series) (Paperback)
This book is great for teachers who need to learn to use computers in their classrooms and for students who are studying to be teachers. I used it for a college class and it was very helpful.
