He earned his Ph.D. in psychology in 1975 at Iowa State University. He has been developing instructional software for approximately 17 years in support of his own research activities. His present projects include evaluating how students make use of online study tools in large lecture introductory classes and helping the University of North Dakota implement a Department of Education Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology (PT3) grant.

Cindy Grabe is employed by the Grand Forks school district as a technology facilitator. Her position requires her to provide training to district teachers, administrators, and staff members, collaborate on curriculum projects, and conduct demonstration activities with students.

She was recently awarded a three-year U.S. Department of Education Grant entitled "Engaging Students in Historical Inquiry."

Review

"The strong point of this text is coverage of material; every topic in the book is rightfully one that should be included in a required course such as ours....The text is limited to practical dimensions of the use of technology in the classroom and does not whirl about in the exploration of instructional theories and philosophical tangents. The book aims at people who are fairly new both to teaching and to the use of technology."
