DESCRIPTION

The 2006 volume of the 31 year old Educational Media and Technology Yearbook series continues the legacy of its predecessors. It highlights the major trends of the previous year, noting both renewed interest in multicultural perspectives and the ever-growing interest in online learning. It discusses advances in the school and library media worlds, which continue to reel from budget cuts and hiring freezes. It profiles two outstanding individuals: Michael Molenda (Associate Professor, Instructional Systems Technology, Indiana University, Bloomington) and Ron Oliver (Foundation Professor of Interactive Multimedia, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Western Australia). It also identifies instructional technology-related organizations and graduate programs in North America. The book 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 no self-respecting media and technology professional should be without.

REVIEWS

"[T]his book provokes further reflection with regard to professional practice, and is a worthy addition to a professional collection."?Journal of Access Services

"Over the years, this essential reference volume has provided a forum to update the field, explore current issues, and provide reference information, and the current editors have maintained that function by updating educational technology in the K-12 arena, in higher education, and in business and industry....The function of any annual is to keep us up to date, and this one does the job well. It belongs in larger collections at the district level but needs to be more than just a shelf sitter. Therefore, rotate it among the teacher-librarians in your building."?Teacher Librarian
