[...] As discussed at our recent eGuide hui, I have obtained some copies of Will Richardson’s book on Web Tools for Classrooms.  This is the first book I have seen on the web tools we are using in Te Hiringa i te Mahara that has been written with you, the teachres, in mind.  Please add a comment to this blog indicating how you might be able to make use of this book and I’ll send you a copy – first in, first served!!  Note, this is for eGuides only – just in case anyone else is reading this blog.  But then again, you could comment and be the first to borrow it from your eGuide.

[...] My copy of Will’s book “Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms” just came in. Looks like it’s going to be a pretty good read, providing the perspective of an in-the-trenches teacher, rather than just the geek echochamber I usually expose myself to… [...]

blogs, wikis and podcasts – great tools for a shrinking world…

Have just started to read Will Richardson’s new book – excellent.
This is a great resource for all learners!…

any chance information like this is available in open source?

[...] My book “Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms” arrived today, so I look forward to browsing through that. It looks like quite a practical (and thankfully slim) volume, so that’s good. [...]

Been a long time user of blogs in my classrooms… I am curious to see what specific chapters (Chapter 3) state about how teachers should be using blogs since I’ve just developed my own “blogging pedagogy” from scratch. If you’d send me a copy, that’d be awesome. It will be read and sent around to my dept members.

I’ll be using blogs for the first time with a literature course this fall. I hope this book will shed light on how to use blogs in non-writing-based classrooms (writing-across-the-curriculum, for ex).

Thanks for the update on a new book!

I just started using blogs this spring in my graduate class as a way to have an online reflection. For summer quarter I am taking a technology class where we have to create our own blog about a technology issue in education. In addition to using blogs for my own studies I am creating on to use in my classroom. Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms sounds like a very useful book, I would love a copy to use and share.

[...] I am currently putting the finishing touches on my practicum which is the development of a graduate level course entitled Teaching, Learning and the 21st Century Classroom. While I have explored many of the topics independently, I have been inspired by the work of Ulises Mejias and Terry Anderson, as well as Will Richardson’s recently published book – Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms. [...]

[...] I recently purchased a book entitled Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms. I learned about this book in my course on integrating technology in education. My reading and the course that inspired it has led me to share this information with colleagues at Delcastle Technical High School. The idea of publishing online seems to be a powerful motivator to improve studetn writing. I am anxious to introduce blogging to my new students when I begin teaching at St. Georges Technical High School in the fall. Permalink TrackBack [...]

Will:

Just finished the book. The chapters on the tools were exactly what I was expecting to get. I am planning on buying several copies of the book to make sure every teacher in our Global Communications program has their own copy. The last two chapters are the strength of the book. It’s not about the technology, its about the implementation and application of the skills to create new and innovative creation and collaboration structures. That is the strength of your book. When I give our teachers the book, I am going to ask that they read it in that order. Read from 125 to 137 first and then go back to the beginning. To steal from Stephen Covey, ‘begin with the end in mind.’ If you show what is possible, people will know what good integration looks like. I am going to put your 10 big shifts on our Global Communication Wiki and I am going to blog them for our district teachers as well. (Please let me know if this is unacceptable..)

Thanks for showing the way….

[...] In reading Will Richardson’s book, Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms, blogging as it’s own form of thinking and writing was clearly illustrated.  Richardson offers a continuum of blogging that mirrors the progression of Bloom’s Taxonomy.  Low level blogging–which really isn’t blogging at all–aligns with the simple knowledge level of Blooms Taxonomy, while higher forms of thinking such as analysis, evaluation, and synthesis are represented in points 7 and 8 of Richardson’s continuum.

Is there any way I can get this book in etext? what a great way to get special ed teachers to share info about what they are doing on a daily basis.
I’m interested in starting a blog about e-text and what we have available.

Reviewed the book on http://elearning.surf.nl/e-learning/boekenensites/3606 and wanted to let you know!

My company is seriously spending energy, time and money on delivering qualifications via blended learning for adults in Africa: Kenya, Ghana, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe to name a few. We are establishing/collaborating with learning centres to provide internet access to learners and are continuously looking for innovative new ways to add value to the e-learning experience. Won’t you please consider providing us with a copy of your book which seems to be packed with just the kind of info we need?

This is an excellent resource for our teachers and staff. Thanks for introducing this!

How many pages is the book?

[...] I haven’t actually read this myself (yet) but judging by the responses of those who have, it’s exactly what I imagined it would be: a straight-down-the-line and accessible demonstration of how ‘new media’ tools can have an amazingly positive impact in the classroom. More information as to what the book contains over at Will Richardson’s blog. [...]

[...] A blog needn’t be limited to a single author – it can mix different kinds of voices, including fellow students, teachers and mentors, or subject specialists. Edu-blogging pioneer Will Richardson (author of a book entitled ‘Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms’) used the blog software Manila to enable his english literature students to publish a readers guide to the book The Secret Life of Bees. Richardson asked the book’s author, Sue Monk Kidd, if she would participate by answering questions and commenting on what the students had written – to which she agreed. The result was a truly democratic learning space. [...]

[...] I’m reading Will Richardson’s book Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms which my colleague Kevin brought back from the National Writing Project’s Tech Matters Summer Institute. And, it’s compelling me to writing down the thinking I’ve been doing as I wade through my own personal learning process as a blogger. [...]

[...] All this stuff is accessible through my blog so I guess my project is going to be communicating in web 2.0 ways through my blog. It has been really nice to be a part of this class and have time and assignments that force me (you didn’t have to twist my arm too hard) to explore tools that I’ve heard of or worked with a little but haven’t had a full understanding of until now. The reading has been great and helped me think of new ways for my kids to work with each other and with others across the world. [...]

[...] Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and… 31 07 2007 Today I finished Will Richardson’s book Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms. I have always appreciated Will’s viewpoints on his blog, and I like the straightforward, easy to understand approach he presents in his book. Having used many of these tools in my classroom for over a year now, I was familiar with much of what Will shares, but I had many I should have tried that moments!!!  Now, I am in a new position (district level educational technology specialist) with a new audience (educators) and the book proved valuable in giving me ideas and ways that I can share these tools with teachers.
