What I'm currently reading in the world of technology

May 26, 2016

Here's a list of some of the books I'm reading at the moment.

Share and share alike?

• What’s yours is mine: a critique of the so-called "sharing economy" – it's not all peace, love and happiness, man. This doesn't sound like it has much to do with technology, but it does. Companies like Airbnb and Uber rely on digital technology to put buyers and sellers in touch with each other.

This book is about the dangers of unintended consequences -- for those using such services, those supplying them, and the wider community. A fascinating read, which I'll be reporting on in a forthcoming issue of my newsletter, Digital Education.

Becoming noticed

• The Content Code* is why your online stuff doesn't get shared as much as you'd like – and what you can do about it. I've read it once, and now I'm going through it again, so I can review it. I intend to review it first in the Reviews for Writers newsletter, and then on the Writers' Know-how blog.

Teaching through the ages

• Essays on Teaching* is a fascinating collection of readings about education spanning the years 380 BC to 2011. Surprisingly, a lot of concerns haven't changed much over the centuries. Hmm, maybe not really surprising at all. Anyway, I've already reviewed that book, here: Essays on Teaching. It's not about ed tech, but definitely worth reading despite that.

You'd think that was enough to be getting on with, but I'm also reading a few other books too. More of them in Digital Education.

If you don't want to miss my education-related and ed tech-related book reviews, sign up to Digital Education. It's free, thought-provoking and full of practical advice. It's been going for 16 years, so I must be doing something right!

It wasn’t me wot done it, Sir! The depressing state of Computing as a subject

Here in England, students are voting with their feet: the numbers studying Computing at higher levels are going down. I hate to say "We told you so" but....

It's not as if nobody warned 'them'.

Who is the expert?

When it comes to teaching Computing, who's the real expert in what to teach and how to teach it?
