Reviews
What Keith has contributed to the teacher education canon is a design for a methodological and pedagogical approach to teachers' learning that will inspire teacher educators to observe more closely the individual student's pedagogical activity within a complex technical and socio-cultural ecology. - Christina Preston, ITTE Newsletter This book wins out over others in its holistic and nuanced approach to a number of key educational issues, namely the potential of technological tools to transform learning. More importantly, however, Turvey reminds us that for such tools to be harnessed effectively we need to put the teacher, not the tools, at the centre of this enterprise. For new technologies to work we must develop new models of interaction between the technology, the user and the pedagogic and biographical contexts in which they are to be used. Turvey has done this. The rich array of ideas and applications presented in this very usable book also demonstrate the important contribution university research and theory play in the education of pre- and in-service teachers. - David Stephens, Research in Education
