Description: Augmented Education : Bringing Real and Virtual Learning Together, Hardcover by Sheehy, Kieron; Ferguson, Rebecca; Clough, Gill, ISBN 1137342811, ISBN-13 9781137342812, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK The concept of online education is not entirely new. Many universities and colleges have been offering online courses for several years now. However, a newer concept is that of online education for elementary and high school aged children. While th Augmented Education: Bringing Real and Virtual Learning Together is not necessarily promoting the idea of a completely Internet b ased education, it is asserting that, with the access to information and ideas the Internet offers, education at the primary and secondary levels must move beyond textbooks, teacher-centered lessons, and the classroom walls to take advantage of technology. The title of th is taken from this concept. Augmented learning “uses electronic devices to extend learners’ interaction with and perception of their current environment to include and bring to life different times, spaces, characters, and possibilities.” The text also warns the reader not underestimate the value of technology because many aspects of technology have become ubiquitous tools; the fact that a hammer is an everyday object does not undermine its value as a tool for building things. Computers, tablets, the Internet, all of these tools have also become ubiquitous and are often used for entertainment rather than sources of learning, but it does not mean that they have lost their value as devices for learning and accessing information. The objective of Augmented Education is to describe the different tools that may be implemented to augment the learning experience and ways in which to use them.
