The uses of technology in education have kindled great interest in recent years. Currently, considerable resources are being expended to connect schools to the Internet, to purchase powerful (and increasingly affordable) computers, and on other implementations of educational technologies. However, the mere availability of powerful, globally-connected computers is not sufficient to insure that... Read more

Biography

Jacobson, Michael J.; Kozma, Robert B.

"Chapters are well organized, making the book easy to follow....good resource for graduate students, faculty, and university libraries."
—CHOICE

"The articles included are clearly written at a level that should be accessible to any educational professional familiar with learning theory and technology. The chapters of the book are essentially research papers and, as such, meet a high standard of timeliness."
—Horizon Research

"The greatest strength of this book is in its ability to demonstrate the ways in which technological learning tools foster deep understandings of difficult scientific and mathematical knowledge and ideas. Innovations clearly encapsulates the role of visualization, simulation, modeling, and computer-based manipulation in the development of increasingly complex scientific concepts and abstractions."
—Science Education

"Represents the state of the art in designing learning environments....An important collection."
—David Jonassen
