Publisher's Synopsis
This work is not designed to be exclusively a compendium of readily-adapted classroom ideas or engineering techniques, the authors' intent is rather to make a contribution to the repertoire of useful strategies for orchestrating design technology experiences.;The book presents a grassroots, child-centred approach to true education transformation - educators may see this as part of a new progressivism which includes such elements as co-operative learning, the whole language approach to literacy, and inquiry approaches in science and mathematics.;The chapters of the book roughly follow an approximation of the design process, from context to case studies.
