I’m honored to have a chapter I authored on integrating digital video production in the classroom published in the just-released hardcover book, What School Leaders Need to Know About Digital Technologies and Social Media edited by Scott McLeod and Chris Lehman.

The other chapters are written by  several of the educational technologists whom I’ve come to admire and respect through their blogs, presentations,  and work in the field.  The book is arranged in easy to digest chapters on relevant subjects you can read or reread when you’re ready for them.  I recommend it for principals, tech committees, and teachers who have an interest in transforming education.

The book is available now in hardcover or for the Kindle and includes the following chapters:
