Review

Social media is playing a critical role in education. This book is a practical resource that can be very helpful. (Gail Pletnick, AASA President, Arizona Superintendent of the Year)

Kudos to you on a very timely, detailed and necessary piece of work. I especially liked the chapters on collaboration and legal issues in using social media. The book gave me succinct examples and a roadmap for improving collaboration among all members of my own team. Every manager and educator needs to read this book and take every word to heart. (Ken Carpenter, MD, Adjunct Professor of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Staff Physician, Tennessee Valley Healthcare System)

This new book is truly leading edge stuff! Comes at the right time, as we all work to engage in new and exciting ways! Dan and Katie are tops when it comes to providing timely information in a compelling way! (Thomas P.
