Think Big

The authors of this long-running text are way out front in focusing on the Internet as curriculum's future. The entire firstchapter is dedicated to what a technological district might look like and how curriculum decisions will shape that future in schools. Further reading brings the reader face-to-face withthe complexities of such value decisions.I use this text in my classes and find that students usuallyselect to keep it ater the class ends.
