"Taming the Beast" is a rare blend of philosophical reflection, earnest wit, and hard-nosed guide. It casts a discerning eye on our love-hate affair with technology; reveals 27 ways to see, evaluate, and gain control over the electronic and mechanical extensions that have become such vital parts of our lives; and shows how we can choose new machines wisely for educational, business, and community use. "Taming the Beast" is essential reading and understanding for educators at all levels, administrators, parents, policy and decision makers, the media, and all citizens who recognize the extraordinary potential -- and impact -- of technology on education and society.

Then What? is funny, wise and powerful. It is a story - everyone's story - about trying to make sense of a digitally overdone world that our kids call normal. And it is a story about how schools must change if they are going to help us take back the future...today. Part sci-fi, part social commentary, and a lot of roller coaster fun, Then What? is rated NT for "non-technical." Join computer savant William Tell as he tries to find a path with a heart among the glitz of the high-tech world. Led by his mentor Credo, and joined by a group of insanely wise helpmates, William discovers what it means to be human in a world filled by intelligent machines and starts a crusade to create schools that make sense for the Digital Age in which we live.
