Patricia Rogers' ambitious book includes valuable contributions from educators in all kinds of institutions and from all over the world.This book tries to be everything you need if you are new or fairly new to technology-enhanced learning, covering history, relevant educational theory, and how-tos for K-12, higher education, and business training.Clearly written and carefully organized, it's easy for any teacher to get something from this book.For any library with teachers as patrons, this book is essential.If there is a fault to this book, it's that breadth of coverage means limited depth of coverage.This is a strong book for getting started, but most teachers will find sections of the book that are very helpful and others that can be skipped.Also, although each chapter is well-documented and scholarly, there is relatively little acknowledgement of objections to technology-enhanced teaching.Some of the strongest objectors are acknowledged and answered, but more subtle issues about technology and teaching could be dealt with more seriously.The book's general attitude is that technology-enhanced teaching is a realm of vast possibility as long as it is designed properly.
For teachers who want to get started exploring that realm, this is a great guidebook.
