Computers: Literacy and Learning: A Primer for Administrators, Vol. 3 Book

This book was so bad; it reads like an advertisement for Partnership for 21st Century Skills. It's basically shilling a lesson plan model called ASSURE, and detailing each aspect. There are some helpful weblinks (although several others don't work). Otherwise, it's a lesson plan instruction manual. And the e-book is a limited access program, which sucks because it was expensive. It's hard to navigate, you can't read it easily, and it will disappear by the beginning of next year. And the chapters that might be construed as helpful (using visuals, audio, and video in instruction) are so lengthy they are a pain to read, and have so much technical information that any putz with a computer already knows how to do (I can put images in a Powerpoint? Do tell! And a CD is a storage format for audio? I'm in awe). No lesson suggestions or actual helpful information--just the facts, but so many of them and to a nauseating degree.

The MyEd Kit that accompanies is crap. A bunch of useless quizzes that don't reflect on the chapter content, some flashcards, and the weblinks that are already denoted in the chapter. A waste of money, both this and the e-book.
