Chapter 3: Harnessing the Power of Social Networks

Since I was out most of last week for TeachMeet Nashville, this week has been a little slower in the library. I was able to write faster than I normally can. I am still trying to get stories for my From the Teachers section at the end of the chapter, but I managed to [...]

Mission for This Week: 02/08-02/14

Back in December, I read on the Lifehacker blog that one of the best ways to keep a resolution is to make it as public as possible. I have been and will continue to recruit many people in my PLN into this book project because I believe that, if it’s done right, it can [...]

Introduction – Techniques for Effective Technology Integration

My peers both here and on Twitter were very helpful and encouraging in getting me to write the book that I am working on. Below, I have put download links in both .doc and .pdf form, as well as embedded the introduction via Scribd. This is very much in the first draft stage and [...]
