I am currently taking a class taught by Professor Warschauer called Technology and Literacy at UC Irvine. Of the many readings and studies that we explored in his class, he also had us read his book.
The Review:
Mark Warschauer's passion and insight came alive in this critical study. The book provokes a somewhat fair-minded (slightly positive) view of how technology has and can be used in the classroom. He delves deeply into the educational system and examines not only the applications of technology but the deeper implications as well. He moves through history, politics, science, psychology and computer science with ease and explicitness to decipher the technical speak for the layman while penetrating into the culture of education to expose how best the implementation of technology (laptops) could/ should/ might play out.
Not too lengthy, his language and detail makes it interesting read, whether by necessity or leisure (haha), and the flow and completeness is inimitable.
Overall, it is worth a read for those with even the slightest interest in what technological literacy is and where technology is going in the future.
