 Teaching Writing Using Blogs, Wikis, and other Digital Tools $69.95 This book is a great introduction to thinking about how to use a variety of digital tools for the purposes of teaching writing. The book starts out with a helpful intro. that discusses how the literacy practices of reading and writing are changing via online interaction and then goes into each of these different practices. What I enjoyed most is how the the book organizes its discussions of digital tools according to the thinking/writing processes they promote. For example, wikis are discussed in a chapter on collaborative writing, while video composition is discussed in a chapter on storytelling. In this sense the book is more than a "how to" manual in that it gets at how these tools can be used to promote writing. For those who want a book jam-packed with classroom friendly URLs and teaching resources, they will enjoy the companion wiki that goes along with the book. I appreciate how the book explains the ideas while the wiki provides numerous examples to illustrate and support how it can be done in the classroom. This book will be helpful to those who want to use digital tools to update how they teach writing, or for those already digitally savvy, who want to expand their digital writing repertoire.
