Description

Confucius in the Technology Realm is a ground-breaking new approach to the dynamic world of Education Technology. In this work, the author has decided to soften on structure and focus on art - to take a philosophical approach to the planning and management of the chaotic and ever-changing realm of Educational Technology - what would Confucius think about Ed Tech? But while providing a method of inquiry for philosophical guidance, the book is also meant to reinforce the ethereal concepts with real-world, Ed Tech examples. The ultimate objectives of impacting student learning and achievement and mastery of philosophical self-discipline becomes one and the same - thus, the Tao of Education Technology may be seen as Confucius' viewpoint, helping identify the path to transcending the organization's people, policies, and processes to attain a state where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts - where the education technology infrastructure and operational support structure are ingrained and embodied within the organization as a whole.

Reviews
Never before has technology in education been more of a hyped up buzzword or ridiculed punchline. High profile examples of struggles with good implementation make national news. Great implementations show students engaged and achieving better than ever thought possible. There is no doubt good education technology can make a major difference. Bad education technology ruins careers, wastes tax dollars and does nothing for students. In 'The Tao of Education Technology' Darryl expertly brings together two seemingly divergent concepts: ancient philosophical wisdom and modern technology in the classroom. As I read the book I continued to exclaim 'aha' at the numerous concepts. The idea that this ancient philosophical wisdom actually and truly can influence what actually happens is both obvious and revolutionary. I recommend this book as a means to really step back and see the forest from a distance. It is this distance and perspective which can be the true catalyst for change and growth. If there was ever a topic that deserved deep reflection it is education technology. This is the perfect book to do that. -- William C. Olien, Murrieta Valley Unified School District, Assistant Superintendent, Facilities and Operational Services

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
