Computers in Music Education; Amplifying Musicality
"Computers in Music Education: Amplifying Musicality" addresses the question of how computer technologies might best assist music education. Aimed at current and preservice music teachers and designed to be a basic teaching text, it addresses issues from pedagogy through using computers to aid production and presentation of students' musical works, as well as implementing a computer-aided program in the classroom.
Computing technology has been rapidly changing, particularly when it comes to the field of music. From notation software to MIDI sound creation, from downloading music from the web for study and enjoyment to posting personal MP3s for mass distribution, the world of computers has transformed how we perform and learn about music. This book, written by a music educator and digital media specialist, cuts through the jargon to present a concise, easy-to-digest overview of the field, with practical suggestions spread throughout.
While there are many more technical books, few offer a comprehensive, understandable overview of the field. "Computers in Music Education: Amplifying Musicality" addresses this need, and will be the standard text for the growing number of courses in this important area.

High Tech Heretic: Why Computers Don't Belong in the Classroom by Clifford Stoll, ISBN 0385489765
The cry for and against computers in the classroom is a topic of concern to parents, educators, and communities everywhere. Now, from a Silicon Valley hero and bestselling technology writer comes a pointed critique of the hype surrounding computers and their real benefits, especially in education. In High-Tech Heretic, Clifford Stoll questions the relentless drumbeat for "computer literacy" by educators and the computer industry, particularly since most people just use computers for word processing and games--and computers become outmoded or obsolete much sooner than new textbooks or a good teacher.
As one who loves computers as much as he disdains the inflated promises made on their behalf, Stoll offers a commonsense look at how we can make a technological world better suited for people, instead of making people better suited to using machines.

Computers and Classroom Culture by Janet Ward Schofield, ISBN 052147924X
Computers and Classroom Culture explores the meaning of computer technology for our schools. In clear and direct prose, Janet Schofield examines ways that computer use is shaped by the social context in which it occurs and how attitudinal and organizational barriers obstruct it. She brings to light issues of gender differences and equity, and she provides sound and thoughtful ideas for improving educational use of computers. This book is for all those concerned with the changing shape of the classroom and the future of our schools as well as for sociologists and psychologists interested in educational computing.
