My Response to Personal Learning Networks

                  My Personal Learning Networks by Will Richardson and Rob Mancabelli is a very well written text book with lots of points and ideas worth knowing as a future educator, however, I have a cricital opinion of the text. Every chapter, every section, every paragraph is extremely repeative. Throughout the chapters that we have been assigned we read time and time again about how to intergrate technology into our classrooms and what challenges we must overcome. The book follows the same format. We read that simply throwing facts and quotes at students is a poor teaching method yet this is all the text book does, trying to hide this fact the book presents us with real-life situations that we are suppose to relate too and acts as if that is enough. Mr. Richardson and Mancabelli preach about transforming education and the importance of using technology, yet it is their book that needs to be transformed.
