Review of Computers in the Classroom: How Teachers and Students Are Using Technology to Transform Learning (Hardcover)

"Computers in the Classroom:How Teachers and Students Are Using Technology to Transform Learning" is written by Andrea R. Gooden, the former program manager for the Education Grants program at Apple Computers, Inc.Having known that, I expected this book to be informative and of course, filled with success stories.This book highlights six schools in impoverished communities, all whom received money from the Apple Computer's Educational Grants program.The stories include high schools in New York, Pennsylvania, California, and South Dakota.Elementary schools covered in this book represent Louisiana and New York.Each story discusses the ways in which technology was used to enhance, and sometimes enable education.Students used computers to experience education rather then simply learn.Technology was the key that unlocked the door to success for these students.This book included actual work from students and teacher comments.Although this book does not fully describe the programs used at these schools, it does provide information and resources.This book is not a teacher's lesson guide; it is a teacher's inspiration.
