In the history of education, the question of how computers were introduced into European classrooms has so far been largely neglected. This edited volume strives to address this gap. The contributions shed light on the computerization of education from a historical perspective, by attending closely to the different actors involved – such as politicians, computer manufacturers, teachers, and students –, political rationales and ideologies, as well as financial, political, or organizational structures and relations. The case studies highlight differences in political and economic power, as well as in ideological reasoning and the priorities set by different stakeholders in the process of introducing computers into education. However, the contributions also demonstrate that simple cold war narratives fail to capture the complex dynamics and entanglements in the history of computers as an educational technology and a subject taught in schools. The edited volume thus provides a comprehensive historical understanding of the role of education in an emerging digital society.
This is the first comprehensive study of the later novels of Spain's most honored contemporary woman writer. Brown shares unpublished letters and conversations with Carmen Martín Gaite--a dear friend whom she called Calila--to elucidate her last six novels, all of which explore themes that are highly relevant today.
As far as Carmen's concerned, being gorgeous entitles her to anything she wants. A very sexy stranger walks into her world, insisting there's a whole lot more to Carmen, and he's dishing out some serious schooling in a few subjects Carmen knows little about--faith, hope, and love. Original.
An engaging look at the portraits of politicians in poster art, parallel to the election campaign in the USA.
