Help Your Child Learn with Cell Phones and Web 2.0 is a paperback book that will show parents
and teachers how to teach their children using cellphones. The author maintains
that since 89% of adults and 79% of children have cell phones, most of them
smart phones, they are invaluable learning tools and should be utilized.

provides the information you need to teach using a cell phone, without being

According to the author,
other cultures routinely use cell phones and Web 2.0 for learning and we are
behind them in utilizing this invaluable resource.
Help Your Child Learn with Cell Phones and Web 2.0 starts
simply enough with an introduction that explains what Web 2.0 is (for those of
us who don’t know, it is where students can write or adjust current programs)
and the basics of what the book hopes to
teach you. Since most children ages eight and up own basic cell phones, she explains how to make sure that we
have ways of accessing the internet without running up huge cell phone bills,
and more. This is truly a book that addresses all aspects of using technology
to its fullest potential.
