Comprehensive but dull. Definitely inappropriate as a tertiary-level set text - simple-level content, badly presented, very "cluttery"... uses the excuse of "teaching teachers to teach technology" to cobble together what is basically a collection of easily-researched facts interspersed with bizarre generalisations (mostly tailored to the US high-school market, as far as I can tell) and glib, product-endorsing content that explains little more than an office supplies catalogue would. *Hideously* overpriced, and definitely neither written nor targeted well enough for the Australian B. Ed market. Not recommended.

I had to read this book for my Educational Technology class. This book helped me with my power points, quizzes, and discussions. I would say that I know more about the different tools I can do to create a fun and an exciting power point for my classroom in the future. I definitely recommend this book for those who want to know more about technology.

This is a pretty good and informative book on technology and how to implement it in a classroom.
