Powering up: Learning to teach well with technology. NY: Teachers College, Columbia University pp. xvi + 188$ 29.95 (Papercover) ISBN 0-8077-4498-0 Reviewed by Irene LaurieMcMaster University March 25, 2006 Although this book is based on an ethnographic study of one high school and five of the teachers, there are many reasons that this book would inform a broader scope of readers than just secondary school educators. Carefully crafted and solidly built, the recommendations are well supported by the research. The building blocks include: why technology in education is good; what it is not; what it looks like when it is effective; what individual factors and contextual factors influence effective use. Coppola shows the dynamic tension between professional individualism and the interdependence needed to build and support visions and missions that underlie successful implementation of technology in education.
