Review by California Teacher for Making the Most of the Web in Your Classroom: A Teacher’s Guide to Blogs, Podcasts, Wikis, Pages, and Sites
Rating:
As a novice technology using teacher, this book was just what I needed. It has given me a solid overview to help me start building my knowledge and skill. I appreciated the various examples on how to use the Web in my classroom. I have recommended this book to others I work with who are trying to ramp up their skills for using the web in their teaching.

Timothy G. Green, Abbie Brown and LeAnne Robinson’s MAKING THE MOST OF THE WEB IN YOUR CLASSROOM should be a mainstay of any serious teacher’s library: it tells how to translate internet technology into classroom applications, from designing web sites to helping students develop their own internet-based projects, whether it be a blog, locating web activities, or assessing information.

Review by Andrew Tan for Making the Most of the Web in Your Classroom: A Teacher’s Guide to Blogs, Podcasts, Wikis, Pages, and Sites

The title of this book should have been the “Superficial Guide to Making the most of the Web…”
This book promises so much on the cover (blogs, podcasts, wikis) and delivers nearly nothing substantial. Much of the coverage deals with Web 1.0 technology.
It HAS ABOUT ONE PAGE EACH on Podcasts (pg 21 – 22), Blogging (pg. 16 – 17) and Wikis (pg 24 – 25).
It dedicates Chapter 2 to the whole area of teaching students to be responsible and safe on the web and how to search effectively. This is so pre-2000!!! If you are going to write a book at the end of 2007 and boasts Web 2.0 related stuff on your cover (blogs, wikis and podcasts), that should be focus of the book (though I will admit that you did not say Web 2.0 on the cover – but it was certainly implied).
Chapter 3 was SHOCKING. The book ACTUALLY tries to teach you how to hard code HTML pages! I could not believe my eyes! HTML is so so very yesterday. With all the web applications today, who needs to create web pages???
I don’t even want to waste my time reading chapter 4.
If there was a way, I want my money back – what a rip off! This was an utterly disappointing book! I would have given NO stars… but that is not an option.
