Used for Class

I can't say that I was particularly intrigued but needed this book for a class. It served its purpose.

Teaching with the Internet, K-12: New Literacies for New Times

Great book for all educators!It discusses great ways of integrating the Internet into the classroom activities for students to find, learn, and develop skills using resources of the World Wide Web. The book is simple to understand and a great read.

for teachers who also need an Internet education

Written for teachers in primary and high school, the book has many suggestions how you can incorporate the Internet in your classroom. It addresses what are probably concerns of many teachers. Who want to use the manifold resources available on the net, and to give their students a good education in these. But some teachers may also lack any formal background in how to do this. Which is basically a generational divide that can be a function of how long you have been a teacher. The book can allay these concerns. It explains in clear ways how to use the net resources. Where these involve minimal changes to how you might be conducting your class.
