Reviews

Linda Good guides the reader every step of the way, from showing how digital photography fits into developmentally appropriate practice, to how to use the technology to teach and assess students and increase family involvement. The book is a real contribution to an important facet of early childhood education in the new century. -- Dan Gartrell, Professor of Early Childhood Education 20080123 The incredible collection of templates in this book makes it worth every penny. Why reinvent the wheel when the digital camera can make your classroom revolutionary? I don't know how the author could have packed more pertinent information into a book. -- Carrie Carpenter, Coordinator 20080123 The suggestions offer many opportunities to build on and strengthen our efforts toward increasing early literacy skills and encouraging home-school connections and parent involvement. I highly recommend this book to any early educator who wants to add a new dimension to learning. -- Sally Nault-Maurer, School Readiness Instructor 20080221
