Educational Duct Tape: An EdTech Integration Mindset

If you're an educator, this book should be on your reading list. Yes, it's full of tech tips, but tech changes rapidly. Yes, it's full of recommended tech tools to fit certain needs, but again, that tech will change in the future.The real value here is in the recounting of Jake's experience as a developing educator. His repeated mantra of "Know Better, Do Better" as a common theme throughout the book serves to guide and reassure any young (or not-so-young) educator that would appreciate tips on how to improve teaching practice. That is what I enjoyed the most about this book.Jake does a great job of recounting his growth as an educator from the days of using transparencies on the overhead (remember those?) It follows a growth mindset in a step-by-step (or drip-by-drip) way of constantly improving your practice. THAT is the value in this book.Today, this book is a great EdTech resource. It's lasting appeal is Jake's personal journey. Unlike some of the tech tools recommended, that won't ever go out of date.

This book is a perfect blend of storytelling and technology tips all in one! Jake demonstrates how he able to masterfully tie in technology through real life scenarios and stories. He is creative, comical, and considerate of his audience as he designs a text that not only reads with ease, but provides a wealth of useful information! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for Educators who understand the importance of telling a story to bring home the point. Love this book!

I’ve been a fan and follower of Jake Miller for a couple of years. His podcast always keeps me informed so I knew when he wrote his first book, I would need it! I’m so glad I got it! It’s packed with gems, resources, tech tips, and his funny anecdotes. This is the kind of book you order for yourself and 5 more to give to friends! Thank you, Jake! Your work to help teachers and students will always be appreciated and necessary!

Like his podcast of the same title, Jake’s book is a phenomenal resource for any educator. It is a true pick and choose resource guide for mobilizing tech integration in the classroom. Jake’s anecdotes and whit make this a must have for those just getting started or those looking to improve their craft.

Jake’s book is full of wit and humor as he lays out tools to use in the classroom that purposefully and meaningfully infuse technology into your curriculum. The book is an easy read that is organized in a way that just makes sense. I liked Educational Duct Tape so much, I purchased copies for my new Instructional Technology Facilitators to read.

Jake is always at the forefront of technology and his insight and knowledge is very helpful and informative. I highly recommend this book. As a specials teacher, Jake is dedicated to providing information and resources to all areas of education. I appreciate how Jake explains EdTech strategies and tools in a humorous, yet easy to understand manner. Buy this book!

Love the way the book is broken down. Makes it easy to read in stages. The tech is not the answer, but there are great tips of how to incorporate the tech if it will move a lesson, and more importantly, your stud

I loved this book. Very relevant to today's classroom and a really helpful tool to any educator.

A great read for any educator willing to try new tech tools in the classroom. The book provides educators an opportunity to understand how using tech tools can work for them in their classroom.

Great book and an easy read for any teacher who is in a hurry and just wants to know some of the best tech choices for their classroom. It's also great if you want to read about some of Jake Miller's interesting and funny stories that go along with the book. It's well-worth your time and money.
