This may be the most underwhelming of my GTEP textbooks thus far.

The lists of educational resources and apps compiled by Maloy et al. are interesting, and I may refer back to them as needed during my practicum and early teaching experiences... but everything else was so dry and predictable. I already know that students respond to multimodal teaching methods, so why am I reading hundreds of pages saying exactly that? Or advising me to put photos in my PowerPoint? A big book of "Duh."

Seriously outdated. 90% of the content is based on outdated pre-technology teaching practices from over 10 years ago. The technology references and recommendations are also behind by many years. Data is not current. Huge waste of time and money to select this book for a technology graduate class in 2017.

Leads reader to believe only African Americans and Hispanics experience low income and all white children have technology. Very racist! Children of all races can experience lack of income and resources.

Provided with new ideas for tech integration in the classroom.

Ruth, Sharon, Bev and I wrote this book to show how new interactive technologies can create new patterns of teaching and learning in schools. Our hope is that new teachers will use technology to inspire their students to learn and achieve.
