  • This is a major yearbook that helps professionals keep up on the developments in educational technology each year.

Highly recommended.
    —Teacher Librarian     October 2007
  • Published in cooperation with the Association for Educational Communications and Technology, the 2007 volume of the Yearbook focuses on the No Child Left Behind legislation and how this legislation impacts more student-centered, active pedagogies. Thirteen articles focus on trends and issues concerning the use of technology to enable or enhance education, school learning resources, and school library media centers particularly online learning. The text also includes a section of brief biographies of instructional technology leaders; an annotated listing of instructional teachnology-oriented organizations and associations in North America; a directory of graduate programs in instructional technology, educational media and communications, school library media, and closely related programs in the U.S.; and a list of print and non- print resources of interest to practitioners, researchers, students, and others concerned with educational technology and educational media.

Description: The 2007 volume of the 32-year-old Educational Media and Technology Yearbook series continues the legacy of its predecessors. It highlights the major trends of the previous year, which cluster around student-centered pedagogy (fueled by the No Child Left Behind legislation) as well as advances in online learning. It discusses advances in the school and library media worlds, in particular their responses to No Child Left Behind. It profiles an outstanding individual in the field: David R. Krathwohl (Hannah Hammond Professor Emeritus, Syracuse University). It identifies instructional technology-related organizations and graduate programs across North America. And it concludes with a mediagraphy of journals, books, ERIC documents, journal articles, and nonprint resources. As a repository of so much valuable data and information, it is, quite simply, a volume every media and technology professional will be proud to own.
