This title comes from the Critical Issues in Teacher Education series, published in conjunction with the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. It explores technology's impact on K-12 education, its past, and its future. This small volume's goal is to help teachers with all the issues surrounding the use of technology in the classroom. The five chapters cover topics such as technology and teacher education, historical use of education technologies, models for teaching with technology, and the future of educational technology.

The material draws a great deal upon published reports such as Education Week's "Technology Counts," the 1995 Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) Report, a 1997 report from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and others. There are long quotes and sections taken from the reports.

For teachers who want an overview of technology in education with pros and cons addressed, as well as suggestions for future use, this book will provide a framework on the issues every educator faces. Contains references and an index.
