Good Overview of Technology in Schools Issues
The editors have brought together a series of articles and studies on the deployment and integration of technology in our schools. The book approaches its subject from several perspectives: curriculum development, professional development, and policy and administration. It provides a good, high level survey of these issues, and its thorough and careful documentation provides anyone wishing to dive more deeply in any given area excellent direction for further investigation. It was a quick, interesting, and entertaining read.

This book should not be the first choice for those looking for specific and tactical hints on technology integration into curriculum. But it provides an excellent overview of the wide range of issues technology raises for education, and as such would be valuable for administrators and policy makers seeking to broaden their perspective in this area.
