Description

The 2008 volume of the 33-year-old Educational Media and Technology Yearbook series continues the legacy of its predecessors. It highlights the major trends of the previous year, with a focus on instructional technology education. It features the winning paper of AECT's ECT Foundation's Qualitative Inquiry Award. It discusses advances in the school and library media worlds. It profiles an outstanding individual in the field: Barbara Lockee (Professor, Virginia Tech). It identifies instructional technology-related organizations and graduate programs across North America. And it 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 every media and technology professional will be proud to own.

A useful addition to any reference collection for those working or serving those working in educational technology or media, this work is a great resource not only of information and current themes in the field, but also for organizations, higher education programs, and additional resources in all media formats. * ARBA *
