Reviews

I loved the wide array of tools and techniques included in this book. Teachers will appreciate the different teaching strategies that are included, especially newer teachers who may be tech-savvy but may still need curricular supports. The book covers how to accomplish traditional literacy goals through technology, as well as how to include new project-based learning goals and learning that is fostered by technology and societal changes in the 21st century. --Sandy Scragg, English Teacher and Technology Specialist, Emma Lazarus High School, NY This text is a beautiful, beneficial bridge between technology and so many important academic areas. Teachers will love using this as a resource (and a principal would love, love, love seeing these things happen in any classroom). ã The examples are specific, useful, applicable, and focused on 21st century learning. The various rubrics are really rubrics (not checklists). The activities are collaborative, and they will keep students engaged, productive, and focused on a quality product. ã ã --Dr. James V. Davis, Principal, Winecoff Elementary School, NC
