I read this as part of the #ETCoaches Online Book Study. The book had some interesting case studies. On one hand, I appreciated the broad overview of current “hot topics.” On the other hand, if you are someone who follows current blogs and reads journals or participates in any kind of ongoing educational technology professional learning, you won’t likely learn anything new. This book is best as an introduction, or maybe as a jumping off point for more in depth exploration for pre-service teachers.

So many resources. Some links were out of date but that is to be expected.
