Cybercounseling and Cyberlearning: Strategies and Resources for the Millennium

Rating:
Summary: A Good Resource
Review: This is an excellent book for individuals interested in helping people via technology. The topic is not only about counseling via a distance (not in an office, face to face) but also about the history of learning via technology. Learning and counseling cognitively are very similar and have similar technological uses. The editors do a good job of presenting information on theory, practical issues, phobias against technology use with people in need, as well as implementation issues. A wide variety of topics for people interested in all aspects of distance learning and communication. You can pick and choose the chapters that are relavant to your interests or I recommend reading the whole book to see how other fields are using the same types of technologies for different issues.
