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."
