"This book is an excellent resource for both new and
experienced educators looking to make the most of Web 2.0 resources
for teaching and learning. It can be used individually, but I think
it would be most beneficial (and fun!) to use in small groups of
educators as they support and surprise one another with their
explorations and discoveries." -- Chris Toy, Educational
Consultant/Graduate School Instructor
"This is one of the most important tools that today's teachers
could have in their toolbox. There are great descriptions of the
tools, and excellent ideas about how to easily put them to
work." -- David Callaway, 7th Grade Social Studies Teacher
"This book provides a wealth of ideas for teachers who would
like to use technology but do not know where to begin. Each chapter
provides a lens into specific categories of use and websites
associated with the use. An encyclopedia of practical tools for the
low-tech classroom!" -- Bena Kallick, Educational
Consultant
"Cool Tech Tools for the Lower-Tech Teacher is a great
manual for all educators. Each of us can benefit from adding new
technology tools in our classrooms, which speak to the
instructional variety that our digital learners come to our
classrooms with each day.
Our digital revolution is now, this book should be one of your
tools as you set about designing a creative, collaborative, social
and self-directed classroom! " -- Cheryl Oakes, Resource Room
Teacher
"Every educator interested in bringing their classroom into the
21st century should get this book. It not only tells what the new
technology is and how to use it, but it creates an invaluable
vision for the future of education in which students are not only
consumers of information but creators. This resource could help
revolutionize education as we know it, if every teacher implemented
the tech tools in this book!" -- Jolene Dockstader, 7th Grade
Language Arts Teacher

compendium of cool tech, Common Core tools, any teacher can infuse
using the steps and differentiating strategies suggested by the
