review 1: Valuable information for the changing landscape of education. I think the danger of publishing a book like this is that it will become dated and possibly obsolete in ten years, since much of it does address the integration of technology in the classroom, and some of the tools discussed may be passed up for something newer and more innovative. Still, I really appreciated that there were ideas for making the shift, and philosophically, I understand and agree with where Jacobs is coming from. I don't think she suggests that anyone should completely discard certain things that have been done before, but rather, she gives us the idea that we can and should make some changes to our curriculum that will benefit the students' learning.
review 2: The editor takes too... more long (four chapters) to set up the rest of the book. Once she turns the book over to her contributing authors, though, things improve dramatically. In various ways these contributors make a convincing case for the transformation of Education, largely based on incorporating much more current technology into the curriculum along with more authentic, performance-based methods of assessment. less
