Our students are already accustomed to constantly-evolving mobile technology and they crave more than what plain paper and pencil can provide. Veteran teacher, renowned author, and tech expert Mark Barnes shows educators how to use mobile devices and social media to create a win-win for teaching and learning. This inspiring resource describes how to:
- Mentor students in responsible use of technology
- Build students’ aptitudes for critical thought and content curation
- Encourage collaboration beyond the classroom walls
- Easily learn and introduce new technology
Including real-life teaching examples and exciting K-12 lesson ideas, along with a teacher-friendly technology glossary.
The Corwin Connected Educators series is your key to unlocking the greatest resource available to all educators: other educators. Being a Connected Educator is more than a set of actions: it’s a belief in the potential of technology to fuel lifelong learning.

Helping Students Motivate Themselves
"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."
