Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. As American students confront the multiple challenges of standardized tests, international comparisons, and drop-out pressures, educators and policy makers are seeking bold new teaching approaches with increasing urgency. One such approach--the introduction of innovative computer technologies into the classroom--has met with enthusiasm among students and instructors alike. Software Goes to School brings together leading experts to offer anin-depth examination of how computer technology can play an invaluable part in educational efforts through its unique capacities to support the development of students' understanding of difficult concepts.Focusing on three broad themes--the nature of understanding, the potential of technology in the classroom, and the transformation of educational theory into practice--the contributors discuss a wealth of subjects central to any efforts that intend to improve our schools. Topics range from the difficulties students encounter when learning new ideas (especially in science and mathematics), to how the right software allows for hands-on manipulation of abstract concepts, to the social realities ofthe educational environment. Lively and engaging, the book is must reading for students, researchers, and professionals in educational psychology, developmental psychology, softwaredesign, and for others who hope to see new technologies have a positive impact on our schools. A progress report on the research undertaken by the Educational Technology Center at Harvard Graduate School of Education.
