Cool Tech Tools for Lower Tech Teachers Reviews

"This book is an excellent resource for both new and experienced educators looking to make the most of Web 2.0 resources for teaching and learning. It can be used individually, but I think it would be most beneficial (and fun!) to use in small groups of educators as they support and surprise one another with their explorations and discoveries." -- Chris Toy, Educational Consultant/Graduate School Instructor
"This is one of the most important tools that today's teachers could have in their toolbox. There are great descriptions of the tools, and excellent ideas about how to easily put them to work." -- David Callaway, 7th Grade Social Studies Teacher
"This book provides a wealth of ideas for teachers who would like to use technology but do not know where to begin. Each chapter provides a lens into specific categories of use and websites associated with the use. An encyclopedia of practical tools for the low-tech classroom!" -- Bena Kallick, Educational Consultant

"Every educator interested in bringing their classroom into the 21st century should get this book. It not only tells what the new technology is and how to use it, but it creates an invaluable vision for the future of education in which students are not only consumers of information but creators.
