What Connected Educators Do Differently, by Todd Whitaker, Jeffrey Zoul, Jimmy Casas Review
"What Connected Educators Do Differently should be required reading for those working with students and staff in today’s fast-moving digital world. Whitaker, Zoul, and Casas are dynamic leaders who fully understand the importance of connecting beyond one’s immediate surroundings to build a network of excellence to best facilitate learning."
--Jerry Blumengarten, Twitterbrarian at @cybraryman1, former NYC teacher and creator of Cybrary Man's Educational Web Sites
"Whitaker, Zoul, and Casas offer readers practical suggestions for becoming a connected professional in today's educational landscape. Not only do these three experts share a wealth of information for getting connected to learn, share, and grow together, but they also do so in a manner that encourages putting people first to create a truly effective and positive school culture for everyone involved."
--Erin Klein, award-winning teacher, edtech blogger, and speaker
"This is the definitive guide to being a connected educator! You will learn from cover to cover not only how to be a connected educator, but also why we should be connected. Practical tips, advice from multiple experts, and empowering stories will fire you up to become the change education needs!"
--Kyle Pace, K-12 Instructional Technology Specialist and Google Certified Teacher
"Todd, Jeff, and Jimmy share an insight on more than being a "connected" educator, but on learning and making a difference for the reader and others. Their enthusiasm throughout the book is contagious, but it is their practical and simple steps that they share from both their experience and research that will make a world of difference in your practice, ultimately leading to better learning opportunities for yourself, and your students."
--George Couros, internationally-recognized thought leader and a Division Principal of Innovative Teaching and Learning in Alberta, Canada
"Educators are sharing and connecting more than ever--with students, with parents and community members, and with each other. How well we do our jobs has become ever-more dependent on the quality of our connectedness and communications. What Connected Educators Do Differently raises the bar for how these connections need to happen, and for how they can radically improve what we’re doing for students."
--Angela Maiers, nationally-recognized speaker and consultant on 21st century teaching, and coauthor of The Passion-Driven Classroom
"I often recommend Todd Whitaker's books whenever I get a chance so having him partner with exceptional school leaders like Jimmy Casas and Jeff Zoul on such a powerful resource for today's educators is amazing. Through specific examples, practical ideas, and humor, this book will encourage educators who are already connected to continue their work and inspire those who are curious about becoming a connected educator, but don't know where to start. This will become a major book in my library and one that I will gift to new teachers!"
--Dwight Carter, Principal, New Albany High School, 2013 NASSP Digital Principal of the Year, and 2014 Bammy Secondary Principal of the Year Award winner
"The brilliance of this book lies in the stories that illustrate the countless reasons why educators should be connected in online and global--not just local--communities of practice. The Follow 5, Find 5, and Take 5 sections at the end of each chapter are fantastic!"
--Dr. Scott McLeod, Director of Innovation, Prairie Lakes Area Education Agency, and Founding Director, CASTLE

While there are many ways to connect through the internet, all teachers will be inspired by Whittaker, Casas, and Zoul’s, “What Connected Teachers Do Differently”. Inspired not just about how technology brings teachers and schools together, how the book reinvigorates one’s love for teaching. Readers are inspired when authors tell them, “...to take pride in the fact that you do have unique talents and experiences, (that) others not only can, but will, learn from you.” (p.6) The book is full of tips and ways to effectively use social media tools. For example, a school might consider having more than one Twitter account. “Possibilities include an account for the principal, student club/activities, athletics, fine arts, and even parent/booster account(s).” (p. 31)One of the best parts about the book is the end of the chapters. The authors have compiled three sections that bid interaction. The first section is called “Follow 5” and offers the reader five different examples of the concepts that the authors are describing. The examples are of teachers, administrators, and professionals modeling these best practices. Along with a brief description of how the model utilizes the concept, the authors give out the twitter handles for each of these modelers as a way for readers to directly connect.The authors have added a second end-of-chapter resource in the “Find 5” section. This section shares and describes links to resources that are pertinent to a chapter’s content. For example, the first chapter, “Invest in P2LN” has the resource called “Twitter in 60 Seconds.” Since the chapter shares the importance of developing and expanding personal and professional learning networks using twitter, this resource is concise and informative. (I’m regretting having bought this book as a hard copy. The eBook has these as clickable links.)As if these weren’t good enough resources, the end of each chapter also includes an action steps section called, “Take 5.” Whittaker, Casas, and Zoul offer five action steps to take which correlate to the chapter’s topic. This sections rounds out a robust grouping of resources (120 in all) that are inspirational and will motivate readers to get involved, take action, and be the transformation they want to see in education.I am humbled and inspired by how much this book has opened my world. At every school, I have been the leader of technology in the classroom. What Connected Educators Do Differently has shown me just how much more there is out there to learn. I cannot emphasize enough how important this book is for all teachers, new and experienced. The book gets 5 out of 5 stars from me.

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The Go To Book for Any Educator Wanting to Get Connected By David Burgess Todd Whitaker, Jeff Zoul and Jimmy Casas knock it out of the park with this one. Not only do they make a strong case for the importance of being connected and the impact doing so can have on you both personally and professionally, but they provide you all of the resources you need to build a strong professional learning network from day one!

Follow their advice and you will quickly begin to notice a positive transformation in your own learning and start to understand the power of making a contribution to the global education community.Even as more experienced users of social media, we walked away from this book with new ideas, new people to follow and learn from,and new blogs and websites that have propelled our learning forward. Each chapter wraps up with practical advice in the form of "Follow 5, Find 5, and Take 5" which EVERY educator will find valuable as they work to become connected educators committed to making a difference.This is a must read book and one we will recommend to other educators time and time again.
