Blogging for Educators is a relatable, thought-provoking read for educators from K-12 to academia. It should become a handbook for all teachers interested in connecting better with their students, each other, and other education bloggers and Tweeters. Readers will get both the How and the Why of engaging in public writing and public teaching as well as Starr herself does. --Joseph Fruscione, Freelance Editor and Former Adjunct Professor of Literature and Writing
