    The Socially Networked Classroom: Teaching in the New Media Age

    Great book for educators

    If you consider yourself a techno-phobe and not tech savvy, this is the book for you. It helps teachers get up-to-speed on all the new ed tech applications and is very user-friendly. I like this one and I think it should be part of the professional collection at EVERY k-12 school library.
