□ TOOLS OF THE TRADE ACADEMIC JOURNAL SPOTLIGHT: LANGUAGE, EDUCATION, AND TECHNOLOGY FROM KALEIDOSCOPIC PERSPECTIVES Para,phrasing the late John E Kennedy, '~ publication reveals itself not only by what it publishes, but also by the publications it honors, the publications it remembers," we, atJ.E.T.T., take this opportunity to showcase publications which our readers may find enlightening and useful. Since 1987, J.E.T.T. has been estab-lishing ''exchanges'' with over 30 national and intemationaljoumals, and from time to time, we will share with our rea,ders an Academic Journal Spotlight, featuring information about various publications in which language, educa-tion, and technology are viewed from kaleido-scopic perspectives. If information is power, then shared information is absolute power.

Hart describes what a follow-up on all known users of a specific multi-media package revealed about what happens when media are introduced into education and how the specific educational contexts in which media are used play a vital role in learning outcomes.
