Review

"Demonstrates how the Internet can add to your depth of instruction. As a teacher who does not use the Internet to its fullest, this book contributes very well!" (Dawn Butler, Language Arts Teacher 2007-06-04)

"Through the use of technology, students can learn to use tools they are comfortable with and that will help them develop skills for greater productivity in a global society. With theory from this book, teachers can model Internet activities for creativity and engaged learning for higher student achievement!" (Beverly R. Plein, Technology Facilitator 2007-06-04)

"An excellent resource that gives both novice and veteran teachers ideas on how to integrate technology into the classroom. This second edition will become a good friend to those who want to use the Internet in their teachings!" (Amie Brown, Reading and Language Arts Teacher 2007-06-04)

"Quite simply essential reading for any modern teacher. No teacher's library is complete without this fine manual." (California Bookwatch, December 2007 2008-01-29)

“Although the book is written for the practicing classroom teacher, it will also be useful for the school administrator who wants to create stronger Internet learning activities in the school.” (Education Libraries, Spring 2008, Vol. 30(3) 2008-05-28)
