[Brandy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Let me begin with if you are a new teacher, this book might be fantastic. However, as a veteran teacher I felt that this book did not offer me anything new. The author is obviously grounded in research. There is discussion on how to appropriately in purposely embed technology into your lessons. I thought as though this chapter was either written for a boomer. In today’s era I cannot imagine a teacher not embedding technology into their lesson, failing to do so is it disservice to this technology driven world of students. Part 2 offers 10 different t instructional practices and how to embed technology within. This part is the section that maybe helpful for a brand new teacher, as a veteran teacher I learned nothing new.
