Review
"Until we understand the powerful learning, collaborating, and producing that teenagers do with their cell phones, mp3 players, laptops, and the Internet, we won't understand how we can best utilize those technologies in our classrooms. Whether you're a digital native new to the classroom or a veteran teacher struggling to learn your students' Internet lingo, this book is your guide to 21st-century teenagers, literacy, and learning. After 17 years teaching middle school English, I know that I can't teach literacy today without this book." -- Laura Maslin Bradley, English Teacher 20091029 "A concise, well-written book, perfect for teachers who are unfamiliar with the technology their students use and how to apply it in their classrooms in a meaningful way." -- Karen Scott 20111018

This book rocks - great for teachers and teacher-education
July 9 2010

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is a how-to for integrating the latest technology into classrooms. It's written by a researcher and high school teachers and has a companion Web site. I got it because I know the author, but I hadn't had a chance to look at it until now. When I did look at it, I immediately regretted not checking it out months ago so I could require my students to buy it (I'm in teacher-ed). It's thorough and helpful for people who aren't technical, but doesn't treat its readers like morons either.
