Specifically written to assist classroom teachers

Alan November's Empowering Students With Technology was specifically written to assist classroom teachers with the task of integrating technology into their curriculums and classrooms for the purpose of enhancing their student's learning and critical thinking skills. The focus is on students building educational relationships with others beyond their own immediate classroom through the use of the Internet. Students will learn to work with other learners in other places around the world by learning the technical skills that will allow them access to information -- and acquire social interaction and teamwork skills while doing so. Innovative, "user friendly', and fully up-to-date with new technological advances, Empowering Students With Technology is an essential addition to the educational reference shelf for classroom instruction from grade school through high school and college.
