"This isn't a book about technology, Google, silver bullets, or pie-in-the-sky thinking. This is a book about LEARNING! Technology is not a magic solution for education. It is an opportunity!

In this three-part book, you will explore WHY it's time to Shake Up Learning, WHAT changes we can make in our classrooms to support dynamic learning experiences, and HOW to plan meaningful lessons for your classroom.
