Reviews / Votes
"....[is an] ideal textbook for masters, doctoral or educational specialist certificate programs, since it provides a good overview of the main areas of the field of educational technology." - Educational Media International"Foundations of Educational Technology invokes the foundation and anticipation of the whole edifice. If a clear and approachable introductory chapter, he introduces the terms of the book -"technology" and "education." The he exposes the foundation and superstructure as well in the form of six "pillars" that support "educational technology," which is placed atop the structure, seemingly holding the columns upright and unified." - Educational Technology
"J. M. Spector's book, Foundations of Educational Technology: Integrative Approaches and Interdisciplinary Perspectives, alleviates the fear that teaching novices the basics in the field of educational technology must be reduced to simplified models and procedures. This textbook manages to embrace the breadth and depth of educational technology while providing understandable definitions, examples and exercises."- Dr Monica Tracey, Wayne State University
