Any teacher with a computer in the classroom needs this book. --
Paul Gilster, Author of Digital Literacy and The Internet NavigatorFinally...a book that goes way beyond just finding information on the Internet. "Raw Materials for the Mind" shows you practical and effective ways to refine and employ that information in your instructional program. David Warlick mines over 18 years of in-the-trenches telecommunications and curriculum experience to share how the Internet can help you meet new curriculum challenges in a connected world. I highly recommend this book to all professional educators. --
