The Wired Professor

"Guides one through the different tools and gives instruction on how to use these tools effectively in the classroom." ~Ashland Theological

"The Wired Professor combines the best of Internet history and hands-on experiences to guide educators through the maze that is the Net. The book is thoughtful, pointed, and engaging. It will develop one's technical skills and critical faculties, and will be of interest and use to educators in most any discipline, in most any setting. A major contribution to our body of knowledge about the Internet." ~Steve Jones,University of Illinois, Chicago

"No revolution was ever brought about by visions and visionaries. Rather, change comes from the day to day efforts of real people in their real jobs. In The Wired Professor, Keating and Hargitai get down to the nitty gritty of turning visions into reality by providing real-world, tangible solutions to educators trying to make sense of the information revolution." ~Selena Sol,creator of the Selena Sol Script Archive and current President of Extropia.com

"The communication revolution associated with the Internet and world-wide web has important implications for learning. The Wired Professor is a blend of history of the web, mechanics of searching online and posting web sites, but most importantly it offers clear-headed suggestions on how to best exploit this new power for education--not merely novelty or amusement. The next few years will be a time of experimentation in educational uses of the web, and teachers and students alike will profit from the ideas presented in this book." ~David G. Stork,Stanford University
