Digital Tools for Teaching: 30 E-tools for Collaborating, Creating, and Publishing across the Curriculum (Maupin House)
Johnson has created an organized and detailed guide that provides a sound jumping-off point for tech newbies as well as a wonderful resource for veteran ech integrators. Before delving into the tools themselves, Johnson takes the time to describe the difficult role shift that a teacher must overcome when bringing e-tools into the classroom, along with an accurate and insightful look at today's learner. --Mary Beth Hertz, EdutopiaWhat Steve has here is brilliant! The 30 tools he has provided are a great starting point for novices and experts, and the tips and tricks he provides are incredible... I like how at the top of each tool there is a goal. That is important for readers; to understand why this tool was picked, and why they should be using the tool. The curriculum tie-ins are important as well, because teachers will often buy books similar to this and find an explanation ofhowto use the tool, but not ways to integrate it into specific areas... Overall, I would recommend this book to all of my teachers as a valuable, not-to-miss resource. --Steven W. Anderson, District Instructional Technologist for Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools
