Trade Review“This book is the next best thing to hanging out with Brian at his school. As your media mentor, he encourages you to embrace your own creativity as you invite the children to express theirs, and offers a gentle nudge to unlock the potential—of the technology, the children, and your teaching.” —Chip Donohue, Ph.D. Director, Technology in Early Childhood (TEC) Center, Erikson Institute
