About this title

Review

"I have not seen a more teacher-friendly resource for using the Web in the classroom. The authors took both novices and experts into consideration when writing the book. A must-have in every school." (Elizabeth Alvarez, Math and Science Coach 2007-10-01)

"A good introduction and a great resource. I would buy this book and recommend it to media specialists, instructional technology teachers, and district coordinators for both content and technology. It is a user-friendly tool on many levels." (April DeGennaro, Gifted Education Teacher 2007-10-01)

"Should be a mainstay of any serious teacher's library: it tells how to translate Internet technology into classroom applications, from designing Web sites to helping students develop their own Internet-based projects." (The Bookwatch, June 2008 2008-07-15)
