Rezensionen

Noah Kravitz...has succeeded in writing a light-hearted, yet informative, book that will appeal to many teachers as well as to parents and others interested in learning more about the world of the personal computer, the Internet and other ubiquitous software and hardware tools arising from the computer revolution. The book is written in a light conversational style, making it easy to read. It has a comprehensive glossary of IT-related terms, and lists of useful websites and references accompany most chapters. The introduction and first contextual chapter well site computer technology within the historical continuum from the invention of the printing press without engaging the reader in overly extensive detail. For teachers, there are many ideas for engaging learners and teaching them about the technology, its benefits and its pitfalls. For teachers (and parents), the author discusses the positive and negative aspects of children's use of computers in ways that highlight many of the issues commonly raised in the popular press. -- Dr. Robyn Smyth Bjet, (British Journal Of Educational Technology)
