The Best of L&L book has moved into final production, and it has made its way into the ISTE catalog. Read the description here: http://www.iste.org/source/Orders/isteProductDetail.cfm?product_code=llbest

It looks like everything is on track for a NECC 2009 release.

Manuscript Moving into the Editing Process

The manuscript has made it through the internal review and is now moving into the editing process. This means we're one step closer to seeing the final product.

Final book manuscript submitted

I have submitted my final book manuscript to ISTE. I look forward to working with them on further edits and on the publication process.

I plan to keep this blog up-to-date as things develop and publication draws near. ISTE will bring their full marketing and public relations prowess to bear for this book, but I hope we can create a community here for you, the reader and ed tech expert, to discuss the book, the article choices, and the author updates.
