The Chronicles of Technology Aided Teaching
What web resources or books can I use?
Obviously, there are many excellent resources that you can utilize which are not listed here. We have some familiarity with the items on this list, so we can vouch for their ease of access.
- Boulware, Z. and D. Holt, (1998) "Using CD-ROM Technology with Preservice Teachers to Develop Portfolios," The Journal. [http://www.thejournal.com/journal/magazine/98/sept/feature2.html], a decent read for getting started.
- Campbell, D. M., Cignetti, P. B., Melenyzer, B. J., Nettles, D. H. & Wyman, R, M. (1997). How to develop a professional portfolio. Allyn and Bacon: Needham Heights, MA. An excellent resource, which we use here at Albion, on the general topic of how to assemble a portfolio.
- The Yale Med School style guide - comprehensive but a bit imposing.
- Baumgardt, M. (1998). Creative web design. Spriger-Verlag: Berlin. (see Reuben for a sneak peek) Also, check out the web site for the above book, with a heads up for the sections on concept and layout.
- How to create web pages from raw HTML. You might want a good encyclopedia to boot.
- Some stupid web tricks; sorry, can't resist.
- The Kalamazoo Portfolio, where it all began on an institutional level.
- Murray, J. (1997). Hamlet on the holodeck: The future of narrative in cyberspace. MIT Press:Cambridge, MA. If the current cutting edge is too mundane or awkward for you, then this book will help you dream the dream.
