5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Information! July 7, 2010
By Claudia
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
EVERY teacher should have this book! EVERY student needs to learn about web literacy, and we are all students. This should be required reading for anyone involved with educating students (including parents!). I was making the same mistakes students make when researching. I will be more careful about where I get my information on the internet.

Format:Paperback
The internet is a powerful tool in today's world, and for education especially - but some teachers, despite decades of wisdom and experience, are clueless still about this invention of the past twenty years. "Web Literacy for Educators" is a comprehensive guide for those types of educators who are a product of the last generation and have not taken to the internet like fish to water. Authored by Internet Technology Expert Alan November, Web Literacy for Educators addresses everything an educator needs to know in this modern era to make use of the internet for a better curriculum and how to address the problems it brings such as plagiarism. Enhanced with a glossary and index, "Web Literacy for Educators" is a must for any slow adopter of the web who values their status as an educator, and for community library education collections.

The content is not as great as I hoped it would be. I wish it was a quicker read and not as technical.
