Reviews

Google's presence in our nation's schools is a big one and is only going to increase. Jared Covili has put together an excellent guide-useful for those who are tech savvy and those who are not-for how teachers and students can use these tools for teaching and learning. -- Larry Ferlazzo, Advice Columnist Jared Covili does an excellent job diving into the intricacies of Google so everyone can get the most out of the suite of apps. If you are not 'Going Google,' you might as well just 'Ask Jeeves' for support. -- Nick Provenzano, Author of Classroom in the Cloud There are few companies that have had a greater effect on education than Google. Google provides educators and learners many collaborative tools for curation, communication, and creation. These can be daunting to educators struggling to maintain relevance in an ever-evolving environment of teaching and learning. Jared Covili has created a work that provides simple instructions with authentic examples, lesson plans, and teacher-expert perspectives for each Google tool to help the reader navigate what could otherwise be an overwhelming sea of information. This is the ultimate Google Tool companion piece for Educator Relevance. -- Tom Whitby, Creator of EdChat & Author of The Relevant Educator I am not a techie. I am an educator who loves what technology can do to enhance learning for students, but I sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed by the constant creation of new apps, the modifications of existing software, and the abundance of specialized information about how to use the constantly evolving resources available to teachers. I tend to feel one step behind in moving forward in the 21st century. However, help has arrived! Jared Covili's well-written, clearly illustrated, logically laid out book, Going Google: Powerful Tools for 21st Century Learning, is a bonanza of needed answers to questions I didn't even realize I had. Not only does he fully describe the variety of free Google tools offered for classrooms, he gives important details, shares valuable tips, and explains how they can be incorporated into the curriculum. First and foremost an educator, Covili focuses on usefulness and curriculum integration with each Google tool, and he offers several classroom projects as examples. His book sparked a new excitement in me to start making better use of these 21st Century tools. If I were an administrator, I would buy a copy for every one of my teachers. -- Debbie Silver, Ed.D. Author of Fall Down 7 Times, Get Up 8, Drumming to the Beat of Different Marchers, and Deliberate Optimism
