Issues include the educational application and classroom implementation of new communications technologies such as e-mail,the Internet and World Wide Web; laptop computers,school television newscasts,hypermedia environments,distance education,virtual reality,artificial intelligence,and the like. Rather than simply providing information,the text presents problematic issues and situations in realistic case studies and asks the student how best to deal with them. The scenarios involve such issues as commercial TV in the classroom,copyrights and fair use,researching on the Web,and online learning communities. Each scenario is introduced by a clear explanation of why the issues raised are important. Each case study demands student research and a written response outlining what they believe to be the best course of action.Book Details
