"Any educator can′t go wrong by reading anything Mark Barnes
writes! I′m a big fan of his books and what he shares
online."
*Larry Ferlazzo, Teacher*
"As a former classroom teacher, Mark understands what is needed to
engage students from the moment they walk into the classroom. In
his new book, Mark offers his insight to make sure all teachers
understand their students, and provides suggestions on how
educators can maximize the potential of the iStudent."
*Peter DeWitt, Corwin Author, Flipped Leadership Doesn’t Mean
Reinventing the Wheel*
"As of now there are about 20 books in the Corwin Connected
Educator Series, a seemingly ever-growing set of titles
masterminded by Peter DeWitt and Corwin Press. Each book is
short enough to be read in one sitting, which makes the collection
ideal for book studies and professional development, both during
the summer and throughout the school year. Also, each paperback is
authored by one or two educators who speak (and blog, tweet, etc.)
with a credible voice in the world of connected education. Some of
the topics include:
Flipped leadership
Tools for connecting educators, parents, and communities
Blogging for educators
Best practices for establishing a makerspace
Tools to connect and empower teachers Finally, all of the authors
are active on social media, and they regularly present at local
conferences, which helps in bringing to life the contents of these
books."
*Ross Cooper, Supervisor of Instructional Practice K-12*
