…and one book to rule them all

Well, I don’t know if it is the one book to rule them all; however, here is an excellent resource.  It is a book dedicated to Web 2.0 technologies for educational purposes.  There are sections for elementary, administrators, ELL, and many more.  The best part about the book is it is a collaborations between a number of prominent education bloggers…and it is also free.  What free thing has ever been bad?  So, here is The Super Book of Web Tools for Educators (as I discovered from Richard Byrne’s excellent blog, Free Technology for Teachers)

20 Things I Learned about Browsers & the Web

I just saw this really nice online book that details many aspects of the Internet.  It is put together by the Google Chrome Team.  They cover some basic stuff within the book, like “what is the Internet”.  They also get into things like TCP/IP, CSS, XML, etc.  I just gave it a quick glance and it looks like they do a good job of not getting bogged down by the technical jargon.

The book is done very well and it looks beautiful.  There are great animations on many of the pages.  I want to resist my natural urge to print it and save a few trees; however, I did notice a button at the bottom-left corner of the screen just for printing.
