Reviews

Romano's experiences-as professor, school administrator, dental school founder and pioneer of using television and video for education-clearly establish his credentials for offering serious ideas about use of technology in education. Empowering Teachers with Technology raises questions, offers ideas, confronts controversies, and makes the reader think. Lexington Herald-Leader I commend to the reader the proposals outlined in this work as a beginning point for moving the schools of America into the 21st century. -- Ronald E. Walton, superintendent (ret.), Fayette/Urban County School System, Lexington, Kentucky [Romano] meticulously and responsibly details the shortcomings of our system of education...As you read and understand the promises of Dr. Romano's work, it will become obvious that what he has projected is more than just another approach; it is an ingenious, comprehensive program for dealing with the formidable challenges facing our schools. -- Michael H. Pelosi, Jr., CEO and founder (ret.), Airo Clean Engineering, Inc. Undoubtedly, this work warrants serious consideration by the education establishment...[Romano's] insights go beyond the classroom, and reflect a broad range of meaningful experiences spanning a career of more than 40 years. -- Raymond C. Bard, dean emeritus and founder, School of Allied Health Sciences, Medical College of Georgia Dr. Romano focuses on a simple, yet effective way of making a Technology-Enhanced Curriculum available to every student in every classroom throughout the United States and beyond...Creative thinking leaders, parents, and teachers who desire the best education for our children will find this book fascinating and extremely beneficial. Read and evolve into the high-tech classroom of the 21st century! -- Marti L. Wilson, middle school teacher, Williamsburg Independent School District, Williamsburg, Kentucky The most profound message of this book is the admonition that failure to acknowledge the seminal role of the teacher, regardless of the technology in vogue, is to consign education to a future of continuing, unmet expectations -- Alvin L. Morris, dean emeritus and founder, University of Kentucky College of Dentistry I perceive this book as a magnificent opus. Dr. Romano has distilled his life's work and future vision in one manageable, readable, mind-expanding, communicative, respectful volume. -- Barry D. Kaufman, correspondent, Columbia Broadcasting System, Chicago, IL Dr. Romano has configured a solution - the academic model that has escaped us for too long. The Technology-Enhanced Curriculum is the answer to the chaotic and often ineffective state of technology integration in the classroom. It is simple, yet profound. -- Judith R. Gambill, past-president, Kentucky Education Association (from the Foreword) New thinking is presented in such logical and palatable increments that most readers must surely wonder why it's never been done. Overall, the book's structure shows a symphonic mastery in its thematic statement and development. -- John K. Mackenzie, president and founder, The Writing Works, New York, NY

Undoubtedly, this work warrants serious consideration by the education establishment...[Romano's] insights go beyond the classroom, and reflect a broad range of meaningful experiences spanning a career of more than 40 years.--Raymond C. Bard
