The newest addition to the Essentials series Essentials of Educational Technology, presents a brief, yet thorough examination of the major aspects of Educational Technology at a length, format, and price perfect for the undergraduate course in this subject.
This clear and concisely written text discusses the integration of computer use into the curriculum. Presenting the material as an integrated whole, the authors use the Delta Principle, as described in Chapter Two, throughout the text to teach students to think about the enormous power and potential of technology and its ability to change the way we think and learn.
