Quote by Debbie Silver, Ed.D. Author of Fall Down 7 Times, Get Up 8, Drumming to the Beat of Different Marchers, and Deliberate Optimism: "I am not a techie. I am an educator who loves what technology can do to enhance learning for students, but I sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed by the constant creation of new apps, the modifications of existing software, and the abundance of specialized information about how to use the constantly evolving resources available to teachers. I tend to feel one step behind in moving forward in the 21st century. However, help has arrived! Jared Covili’s well-written, clearly illustrated, logically laid out book, Going Google: Powerful Tools for 21st Century Learning, is a bonanza of needed answers to questions I didn’t even realize I had. Not only does he fully describe the variety of free Google tools offered for classrooms, he gives important details, shares valuable tips, and explains how they can be incorporated into the curriculum. First and foremost an educator, Covili focuses on usefulness and curriculum integration with each Google tool, and he offers several classroom projects as examples. His book sparked a new excitement in me to start making better use of these 21st Century tools. If I were an administrator, I would buy a copy for every one of my teachers."
