review 1: Enthusiastic and optimistic, this looked like an interesting read for a teacher, and it was recommended by one of my favourite bloggers, but after reading the first 100 pages there wasn't much that was new to me, and I felt Bonk was just a bit too onesidedly uncritical and wide-eyed. You do have to read these things when they are newly hatched, or they date quite quickly. This read was a bit of a boost to my ego, because it made me feel quite up to date with new Educational Technology - I'm not sure if this is a reflection on the poorness of the content that I was reading or a reality. I've never thought I was that up with things!
review 2: This book covers the 10 principles of the We All Learn module. It took me a really long time to read the book; it is very... more long and is very detailed. I really liked this book and found some great resources in it. I especially like that the author references Library Thing. I think this book is not meant to be read straight thru, but to keep it and refer back to it sections at a time. I am grateful that I won a copy of it and I plane to keep it in my permanent library. less
