The authors of this guide are professors of education and leaders in educational technology and instructional design at four US universities. Their guidelines for classroom teachers focus on the relationship with technology in education and avoiding common mistakes, such as using technology as a replacement for face-to-face teaching. They offer ideas for using technology to complement teaching, to teach critical thinking, to design personalized learning, to develop digital citizenship, and to empower students as creators instead of consumers of digital content. Of special interest are guidelines on using Wikipedia, Twitter, blogs, and videos for student creation. Many real life cases are presented as examples. With its two-color layout, margin boxes, and decorative illustrations, the book is accessible to teachers, administrators, policymakers, and even parents.

Recenzijas
"Yong Zhao and his team have written a book that challenges the ideas not of how technology can make teaching better, but of how technology can create schools that are truly learner-centered. They focus not only on what technology could do better, but how the human element of schools is still needed now more than ever." -- George Couros, Division Principal, Innovative Teaching, Learning, and Leadership Consultant "Dr. Yong Zhao continues to push educators thinking by taking a serious examination of the role technology has played (or hasnt) in education in the last 30 years. The struggles he lays out are those that many are trying to overcome on an almost daily bases. The new thinking in this book needs to be read by those in the classroom and leaders alike." -- Steven W. Anderson, Author "This book masterfully address the issues related to technology integration in schools. Dr. Zhao artfully navigates through the misconception of technology as the ultimate solution to the challenges of teaching. The book provides useful examples of the successful marriage good instruction and good technology can have when properly balanced." -- Jared Covili, Author of Going Google and Classroom in the Cloud "In the final chapter, Zhao shines a spotlight on the need to leverage the voice of the STUDENTS (#stuvoice) in our classrooms as an asset to our own evolving connected capacities as adults. The development of social media in todays world is constant, and each day our students bring with them rich cultures and talents into our classrooms. Zhao identifies this ripe space for innovation to be infused, but a culture shift is necessary on the part of adults. Its not about the tools but the people. Students need to be empowered and teachers (and especially school leaders) need to relinquish some control. We can breed innovation or stifle innovation here." -- Dr. Joe_Mazza, Leadership Innovation Manager "Never Send a Human to Do A Machines Job is simultaneously an historical look at the myriad disappointments of technology in education over the past few decades and a vision for a future of a more personalized and product-filled educational experience. The vision provided in the book is realistic, well researched, and highly relevant to the needs of todays learner. It is time to totally reimagine education. Are you ready?" -- Curtis J. Bonk, Professor/President "At this critical junction for education technology, we need voices like Yong Zhaos. Never Send a Human combines a historical perspective on past failures with forward-thinking solutions, and his narration is eloquent all along the way. This book is transformational in its vision of teachers and tech working side-by-side for students." -- Angela Maiers, Educator, Author, and Founder of Choose2Matter "Dr. Zhaos instructional technology expertise shines brightly in this book. He does a wonderful job of describing the various ways in which educators and policymakers have misframed digital technologies to the detriment of their learning potential for students. Replete with numerous ways to think our way back out of our self-inflicted integration challenges, this book offers hope to those of us who are ready to reimagine the power of learning technologies in our schools." -- Dr. Scott McLeod, Director of Innovation and Founding Director "Yong Zhao and his colleagues have written a valuable guide to the uses and misuses of technology in classrooms. They strip away all the false promises and hollow rhetoric and offer a clear framework for using technology in ways that allow students to create, not consume." -- Tony Wagner, author of Creating Innovators and The Global Achievement Gap
