“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 || Associate Professor, Educational Leadership, University of Colorado Denver

“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

“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.”
