Spark your students to actually want to learn through the creative
application of technology! Type II applications in education make
it possible to teach in new and more effective ways. Type II Uses
of Technology in Education: Projects, Case Studies, and Software
Applications clearly explains methods and strategies presently used
by teachers to offer students a creative learning experience
through the application of technology. Each chapter presents
individual examples of how teachers have applied technology in
schools and classrooms, illustrating through case studies,
projects, and software applications how to effectively spark
students' interest and learning. Type II Uses of Technology in
Education is the third in a series (Internet Applications of Type
II Uses of Technology in Education and Classroom Integration of
Type II Uses of Technology in Education, both from Haworth) that
provides a clear view of the advantagesand challengesinvolved in
the use of technology to enhance and actively involve students in
the learning process. The applications described and discussed at
length here go beyond the mundane educational functions like
grading or presenting drill and practice exercises to explore fresh
ways of teaching and learning. Students can become involved and
actually want to learn, all through the use of creative technology
application. The book also includes tables and figures to enhance
understanding of the material. Type II Uses of Technology in
Education discusses: data collection, analysis, and communication
in student research using pocket PCs and laptops the educational
effect of using a learning object as a pedagogical model rather

Give your students a powerful learning resourcethe Internet! The
Internet, though brimming with potential, is still vastly underused
as a teaching resource. Internet Applications of Type II Uses of
Technology in Education gives teachers new strategies for the
Internet's use as a dynamic educational resource. Where Type I
teaching applications technologically mimic the procedures
previously used by teachers, Type II teaching applications involve
innovative thinking in the use of technology in learning. Using
Type II applications with the Internet, students are actively
empowered to look to its use as an effective partner in their
learning process. This book clearly reviews several Type II
teaching applications and integrative software for use in all
educational levels, including Internet videoconferencing, instant
messages, WebQuests, and WebCT. Though now readily available, even
those schools with the capability fail to effectively integrate
computer and Internet technology into meaningful classroom
activities. Using the Internet as a teaching and learning tool
offers a flexibility that can be extremely effective. Internet
Applications of Type II Uses of Technology in Education clearly
shows how some creative educators have implemented inventive Type
II applications in their teaching plans to give their students a
more enriching learning experience. Internet Applications of Type
II Uses of Technology in Education explores: critically evaluating
Web site information how perceptions and behaviors change when
Internet access becomes universally available Internet2

Examine the history of the microcomputer and its impact on
education!
Under the editorship of D. LaMont Johnson, PhD, a nationally
recognized leader in the field of educational computing, "Computers
in the Schools" has been a powerful tool in educational settings.
Now, after 20 years, Professor Johnson muses on how far information
technology has come. Technology in Education: A Twenty-Year
Perspective brings you a retrospective look at the trends and
issues relating to the integration of computers into the school
curriculum covering 25 years. He joins several other colleagues to
follow the historical journey of the "dream machine" to the
technological wonder it has become.
Technology in Education: A Twenty-Year Perspective will leave you
better informed on such topics as: the obstacles slowing the
integration of information technology in education--why are
computers still collecting dust in many classrooms? the predictions
that were made by early computer enthusiasts, and how close or off
the mark those predictions came how information technology has
impacted education and society so far historical advances in
education that should be celebrated, such as the advent of the
World Wide Web the student's perspective of computers in education
and much more! "Computers in the Schools" is the one of the oldest
academic journals dealing directly with the integration of
information technology into the educational setting. Technology in
Education: A Twenty-Year Perspective provides an important overview
by some of the leading experts in the field. From the earliest
predictions and opinions to the latest trends and findings, this
book, celebrating the journal's twentieth anniversary, isa vital
research tool for students and professors of information technology
in education.

A contemporary look at the merger of technology and education This
timely collection of analytical essays provides provocative
discourse on the role technology will play in education in the 21st
century. In this book, an esteemed panel of educators, information
specialists, program designers, and researchers discusses issues,
trends, and problems in online technology and its potential to
re-energize the educational system. The Web's promise to provide
unique opportunities for improved instruction is a given; how that
promise can be fulfilled is the debate that fuels The Web in Higher
Education. The Web in Higher Education offers detailed proposals
