CSU Channel Islands faculty met today for their first session of the Fall 2012 Blended Learning Preparation Program. As you can see, they were thrilled to receive their copy of my new book, Best Practices for Teaching with Emerging Technologies. The book will serve as a friendly, accessible guide through the process of integrating web 2.0 and social media tools into their students’ face-to-face learning to make it more participatory, collaborative, and relevant.
