.Computing For Beginners: The Basics Explained in Plain English
City Travel Guides > Books > Education and Technology
by: Lynn Manning

April 04, 2006
We started using a computer a couple of years ago and went to classes and bought several books all of which were said to be "just what the beginner wants" Sadly being absolute beginners we struggled to get to grips with the computer even with these books until by chance we were recommended this book and we're both glad we listened to this advice--the book is an absolute gem and a must for any beginner--clearly written and very easy to understand and should be on sale in every computer shop.Hope there will be a second book by Lynn

.101 Games for Self-Esteem
City Travel Guides > Books > Education and Technology
by: Jenny Mosley, Helen Sonnet

March 21, 2002
As an NQT I found this book an inspiration. It offers lots of suggestions and activities to encourage children to participate and talk to each other. Great ideas for circle time, or just as a gap filler - the children, and you, will enjoy the experience. A good buy for any teacher, new (or old!)

.E-tivities: The Key to Active Online Learning
City Travel Guides > Books > Education and Technology
by: Gilly Salmon

September 01, 2002
I bought this book after reading Gilly Salmon's 'E-Moderating' book. I found that Gilly cut through the hype of e-learning and tackled the real business of moderating an online course - recognizing that 99% of the process is not about technology, but about how you go about doing it.

This book is just as good, outlining activities which, through action research techniques, stimulate online learning.

I'd recommend this book to anyone working in the field of online learning - there are lots of great practical ideas and I'll certainly be putting them to use in my work.

.Rethinking University Teaching: A Conversational Framework for the Effective Use of Learning Technologies
City Travel Guides > Books > Education and Technology
by: Diana Laurillard

November 22, 2001
One of the key problems with introducing technology into education is that often technology is introduced for technology's sake rather than as a tool to improve delivery and academic standards.

This book sets out a framework for evaluating the impact of technology on education and in particular on learning. The book builds on the Conversational Framework of Pask to create a schema for learning. The book describes how different technologies can be used to address different aspects of the framework. The aim is to provide an objective evaluation of the technology separate from the complex interactions of teachers and students.

.Creating the Future School: Coming, Ready or Not (Student Outcomes & the Reform of Education)
City Travel Guides > Books > Education and Technology
by: Hedley Beare

September 07, 2000
Giving the book a star rating is difficult because it is actually a decent read but the price is extortionately high and I would recommend borrowing it from a library or someone like me who was stupid enough to think I could expect a weighty tome of great enlightenment. For a paperback book of this size, the price is daylight robbery. I'm trying hard not to let this overshadow the quality of the content, but it's not easy!
