Very cool stuff! This book inspires me to want to use more technology in the classroom. Having been out of the classroom for a few years, I have not had the opportunity to practice what I preach. Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms has got me excited about teaching again.
Overall, I feel that this book was everything it was supposed to be. Although not geared towards the novice, it was easy to read and therefore could be beneficial to a wide range of people, especially educators. The author covered a good range of tools and practices well with good examples. Certainly a book to have in your library.

Not wanting to label myself as a complete luddite, but not really knowing where to start either, I was really grateful that this book came along. Aimed at teachers of primary and secondary students (I am a tertiary level teacher), it has many examples of Web tools that could be easily implemented in the classroom. More than that, though, it lists technologically efficient ways of organising information for students. Since reading this book, I have created a blog for myself, organised an aggregator and thought seriously about podcasting and RSS feeds. Now I'm on a crusade to utilise these Web tools into learning and teaching activities to make the most of current forms of communication and improve engagement of students. Theses tools aren't just another way of presenting information; they can be incorporated into a curriculum to enhance learning. To do that, though, teachers need to be comfortable and convinced about their use. I suggest you use this book as a learning tool for yourselves first.
