Reviews
Blogging for Educators is practical and useful for beginning and more seasoned bloggers alike. Starr gives great advice on making blogging meaningful and answers the all important question of 'Why should I blog?' when time is so precious. Clear and concise, this book will empower readers to write for an authentic audience and open a reflective conversation that facilitates growth. --Garnet Hillman, Instructional Coach
Starr Sackstein has written a smart, engaging, and useful book that can greatly help teachers at all levels in the 21st century. Technology and social media--when used in the ways she discusses--will benefit current and future teachers, students, and curricula. Sackstein speaks to new and current educators interested in blogging about important issues of pedagogy, accountability, collaboration, and creativity. Blogging for Educators is a relatable, thought-provoking read for educators from K-12 to academia. It should become a handbook for all teachers interested in connecting better with their students, each other, and other education bloggers and Tweeters. Readers will get both the How and the Why of engaging in public writing and public teaching as well as Starr herself does. --Joseph Fruscione, Freelance Editor and Former Adjunct Professor of Literature and Writing
