Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
For courses in Computers in Education and Instructional Media and Technology. This computers in education textbook is constructed around a constructivist lesson-planning model. This text helps prospective teachers understand the potential of using computers in the classroom and develop new methods for using computers. The authors provide a rationale for integrating computers into the classroom curriculum by usign them as tool, rather than just an instructional delivery device. Accessible even for students with minimal computer skills--using a mouse, using menus, and opening/creating/saving documents. Coverage is aligned with ISTE guidelines and structured around the ten-step NTeQ (iNtegrating Technology for inQuiry) model for developing and implementing integrated lesson plans. Word processing, spreadsheets, databases, publishing software, the Internet, and educational software are all explored, with the goal of demonstrating how to determine whether or not computers should be used and how best to use them.

This book presents the NteQ (iNtegrating Technology for inQuiry) model for integrating computers into the K-12 classroom (although most examples seem to come from grades 5-6). The model, which involves specifying objectives, specifying the problem, manipulating the data, presenting the results, and assessment, is very sound and effective. The organization of the book is very clear, and it would make a great choice for a graduate or upper level undergraduate education text, or even a self-study text. There are no study questions, but each chapter closes with a list of references and/or resources that will help readers find more information about the covered topics. I found the very first 6 chapters, about general topics concerning integrating computers into the classroom, most useful. The remaining chapters each focus on how a particular type of application (such as word processing) can be integrated into classroom teaching. These chapters may contain some ideas for beginners, but they seemed a little basic relative to the depth of information in the earlier chapters.
