Alan November has been a popular circuit speaker for many years and from outside the library world has been pushing the role of quality information, quality information, and quality information for use by stents and teachers. In this second edition, he updates his chapters on the structure of information, a chapter about the expanded information environment, a chapter on the use of primary sources, and a final chapter about online education. These topics are often the subject of his talks and consulting to school districts around the world, so if you can’t hear him in person, this is a good source to bring you up to date on his thinking. A solid source of good advice.
Decent primer on the movement toward student-centered learning. Focused primarily on what is possible today with existing technology.
