| Summary |
"What is the educational impact of having over 60% of America online? In this timely volume, Asal and Harwood explore how such information technology is transforming the way we educate and are educated. Focusing on the United States, with useful insights from the classroom digital revolution in a few other key places (the United Kingdom, Australia, and India), the authors investigate the impact of today's technologies on education. They examine the ways in which these technologies impact teachers and teaching, children and learning, and the intersection of teaching and learning. The authors explain exactly how new technologies are changing the learning environment in and out of the classroom with a focus on the effects on K-12 education."--BOOK JACKET |
