[Darcy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent resource for anyone who works in the area of educator preparation and/or licensing. I will be keeping my copy handy for presentations to student teachers about tech pitfalls that can lead to ethics complaints. I am not related to the author, but have seen him present at a couple of NASDTEC conferences and both presentations were great.
