I have just completed writing a new, free book. It is available in both PDF and Microsoft word formats. I would appreciate your help in publicizing this book. Moursund, D. G. (2008). Becoming more responsible for your education. Eugene, Oregon: Information Age Education. Access the book and a supporting Website at http://iae-pedia.org/Education_for_Increasing_Expertise. This 84-page book was written for students in their early teens. Many other students, their teachers, and their parents can benefit from it. The content of this book is apt to be useful to all preservice and inservice teachers. Here is part of the preface: Education, training, and experience prepare you to deal with situations you will encounter in the future. However, there is one “slight problem.?The problem is a conflict between immediate and delayed gratification. Learning uses time that you might be using to do other things. Some of the other things will be more fun and less work. They will bring more immediate gratification. Sometimes you may find it difficult to be responsible for your future. It is not easy to think about the future consequences of the decisions you make every day. It is not each to make plans that will take years to achieve. However, this book can help you. A very important part of your future depends on learning to make use of the collected knowledge of the human race. Much of this information is stored in physical libraries of books, magazines, maps, and so on. However, much is stored in computers—in virtual libraries—that can help you access, process, learn, and use the information. Now, expand your thinking. Think in terms of a computerized robot. Such a robot is a computer with some input and output devices it can control. Robots have a type of “brainpower?that is a lot different than human brainpower. This type of brainpower is called artificial intelligence. Machines with artificial intelligence can do lots of things faster and better than humans just using their human brain. Humans can do lots of things better than robots. Nowadays, many problems are being solved by the combination of human and artificial intelligence. You need an education that prepares you to effectively use both human and computer capabilities. This book will help you learn to take more responsibility for your informal and formal education. It will help you prepare yourself for adult life in our Information Age world. Dave Moursund
