Book Reviews of Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms

Book Review: Great Purchase
Summary: 5 Stars

Bought this book for my Masters of Educational Technology class. It was an "easy" read and is written in language that is very easy to understand. Technologies are divided by chapters. (Wikis are one chapter, blogs are another...) He lists the steps to set up that technology, makes recommendations about products, gives examples and includes lots of websites. Many of the programs/websites that he recommends are free. (Bonus!!!! - Great for teachers!) I would definitely recommend this book to others, especially those who want to incorporate more technology into their classrooms. It was well worth what I spent on it.
In the back there is a list of references, but I do wish that at the end of each chapter he would have listed all of his recommended websites. It's not that big of a deal, but to find the websites you have to read through the chapter again. I still think this is a GREAT BOOK!
