Synopsis

"Hits the nail on the head by emphasizing how technology can be used in ways that go beyond one-on-one student use of software programs and teachers' use of PowerPoint for presentations. The book emphasizes the collaborative work and learning that can occur when educators take advantage of all that the Internet has to offer."—Erica Boling, Assistant Professor of Literacy Education Rutgers, The State of University of New Jersey.

Use the Web to help students learn more, create more, and communicate more effectively!

Technology impacts every facet of students' lives and plays a significant role in how students receive and process information. The second edition of Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms shows educators at all levels and disciplines how to tap into the potential of digital tools for creating relevant, interactive learning experiences in the classroom.

With updated research on Web technology, a critical section on Internet safety, and a new emphasis on information literacy with related links, this resource equips teachers with

• Definitions, explanations, and how-to's for using technology to enhance learning.

• Applications for blogs, wikis, podcasts, Real Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, aggregators, social bookmarking, and online photo galleries

• Real-world examples from K-12 teachers around the world

When Teachers expand their knowledge of Web tools to build 21 st-century learning skills, they can effectively prepare students for future success.

April 30, 2006: Will Richardson's book is a wonderful resource to guide teachers through their journey into the 21st Century. It not only offers detailed descriptions of 21st Century tools, but shares examples of current uses in education and explains how you too can enhance education. Teachers of all technology levels can pick up this book and understand the hows and whys of wikis, blogs, podcasts, RSS, and more. I recommend this book to any educator who wants to break down the traditional walls of the classroom to experience the world of education not only with their students but as professionals too. I feel so strongly about this book that I am hosting a professional book study this summer with other teachers from my school district.
