YOUR PICK. You will be expected to read one substantial book about technology and education in a setting of your choice. It would make sense for this book to help you move forward with your paper, of course. For example, you might be intrigued with the ways that technology is influencing higher education. Maybe you’re critical that the influence is too great or too commercial. In that case, you might want to read David Noble. Or you might be particularly intrigued with how to move pre-service teachers towards more and better uses of technology. You might look at Teachers Discovering Computers by Shelly et al. Again, your pick.
