The 2007 volume of the 32-year-old Educational Media and Technology Yearbook series continues the legacy of its predecessors. It highlights the major trends of the previous year, which cluster around student-centered pedagogy (fueled by the No Child Left Behind legislation) as well as advances in online learning. It discusses advances in the school and library media worlds, in particular their responses to No Child Left Behind. It profiles an outstanding individual in the field: David R. Krathwohl (Hannah Hammond Professor Emeritus, Syracuse University). It identifies instructional technology-related organizations and graduate programs across North America. And it concludes with a mediagraphy of journals, books, ERIC documents, journal articles, and nonprint resources. As a repository of so much valuable data and information, it is, quite simply, a volume every media and technology professional will be proud to own.
