Education and Technology: An Encyclopedia

More than 200 alphabetically arranged entries are the work of more than 120 contributors and fall into seven broad categories, as outlined in the topical contents list: "Foundations" ( Cognitive psychology, Human-computer interaction); "Implementation" ( Knowledge management, Rapid prototyping, Webcast); "Issues" ( Assistive technology, Copyright, Digital divide); "Leaders"; "Professional Associations"; "Projects" ( Apple Classroom of Tomorrow Project, JSTOR); and "Research and Theory" ( Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning [CSCL], Visual literacy). Average entry length is five pages. Each selection includes a see also note and references. A glossary, an index, and a list of contributors are all included in volume 2.

Despite its stated aim, this work seems best suited to students majoring in education and professionals in the education field. Those who have no background in either education or technology might find these volumes difficult to use.

Using Your Brain for A Change
This book opens a doorway to a practical new way of understanding how your mind works. More important, this book teaches specific simple principles that you can use to "run your own brain."
It teaches you how to change your own experience when you're not pleased with it, and to further enhance your enjoyment when your life is going well.
Many of us have the ability to take known principles and make useful adaptations of those principles, or make a small innovation now and then. Richard Bandler's special genius is his unparalleled ability to repeatedly delineate new principles, and to make them available to the rest of us. His sense of humor may sometimes sound caustic and arrogant, particularly when it is directed toward the professions of psychology and psychiatry (although other "experts" get their share!).

One of the basic principles of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is that the order or sequence of experiences, like the order of words in a sentence, affects their meaning. The order of the chapters in this book has been carefully thought out. Since much of the material in later chapters presupposes that you have the information and experiences presented in earlier chapters, you will have a much fuller understanding if you read them in order.
