Glossary
"Valuable in its exploration of pedagogical usage of technologies. Recommended."
Library Media Connection magazine, October 2010 (Vol. 29, No. 2)
We address Digital Citizenship, searching, and VOIP in a different class (one I do not teach) - Chapters 1 and 5. Many of our students in this course are in mainland China, where Twitter and Facebook are blocked, while Blogger is not available there - chapters 6-8. Overall, I was looking for a book that offered a broader array of Web 2.0 services and did not feel this text met that description.
