Recensione:

"If you're looking for a book to give to faculty members that need to get connected, Professional Learning in the Digital Age is the perfect book for them. Kristen has written it in a style that makes the importance of user-generated learning clear while at the same time she avoids preaching "the gospel of social media." Professional Learning in the Digital Age will give readers the feeling that user-generated learning is important and that they can do the things Kristen recommends."-- Richard Byrne, Editor, FreeTech4Teachers.com

"Dr. Swanson does a great job of making all of the information accessible to all educators and even provides a handy checklist at the end of each chapter for readers to follow to help them get started. Little things like this are so important for busy educators looking for the best way to get started doing something that is foreign to them. If you are looking for a great book, filled with great tips and real life examples from educators talking about the value of User-Generated Learning, Professional Learning in the Digital Age is the book for you."--Nicholas Provenzano, TheNerdyTeacher.com, @TheNerdyTeacher
