More About This Textbook
Editorial Reviews
VOYA - Judith Brink-Drescher
Most teachers and librarians are well aware of the growing popularity of Web 2.0 technologies, but they might be hesitant to integrate blogs, wikis, podcasts, and the like into a structured classroom environment. This book provides step-by-step instructions on incorporating collaborative tools into existing curriculum by leveraging the best of today's social software. Crane suggests the outcome of such integration should not only develop expertise in the various technologies but also enhance other skills such as writing, grammar, problem solving, and critical thinking. Each chapter addresses a particular technology and describes what it is, how it works, and why it can be beneficial in a learning environment. A variety of subject disciplines across multiple grade levels (K—12) are depicted in real-world examples and include literature, social studies, science, and English as a second language. Screenshots and links to sites created by other educators empower the reader to visually and intellectually research the concept before actually implementing it. The book offers sample exercises, checklists, and progress reports to establish student goals and learning outcomes; a companion Web site provides additional exercises, tips on each tool, and periodic technology updates. Crane's book is a "how-to" and "why should I?" manual all rolled into one easy-to-understand text. It is firmly grounded in traditional education strategies and methodologies, yet it provides insight into current academic and technology trends. This excellent resource should be widely appealing to teachers, librarians and school media specialists. Reviewer: Judith Brink-DrescherSchool Library Journal
In this extensive resource, teachers will find a wealth of suggestions, ideas, unit plans, and answers to questions pertaining to how to integrate and use Web 2.0 tools throughout the curriculum. The book will also prove useful to school media specialists for library implementation and to collaborate with teachers on the development and utilization of these exciting tools. The eight detailed chapters cover everything from how technology trends effect how we teach, to blogging, podcasts, wikis, digital storytelling, Google apps, ESL learning, and social bookmarking. Within each chapter, information is broken down into sequential steps or parts. Part 1 provides objectives, a glossary of terms, an introduction and explanation of the tool, examples, and exercises. Part 2 takes readers through the steps of preparation and provides guidelines and rules for blogging. Part 3 includes practical applications with examples to prepare a unit plan, application of standards, goals and objectives, sample activities, assessment, etc. Copious figures support the material throughout, and evaluation and assessment forms and Web sites are included. This resource concludes with an appendix that includes URLs listed by chapter.-Susan Shaver, Hemingford Public Schools, NE
