I would like so much to win a copy of this. Asigurari medicale
Count me in! I've been teaching for 19 years and there's always a disruptive class.
I would love a copy of this book and have read and used my bosses copy for long enough!!
I am studying to be a teacher and will be teaching Special Education in Illinois at the start of next school year. It is hard for me to stick with a standardized way of teaching when I know that didn't work for me. I was lucky enough to have teachers that brought different ways of teaching to the classroom so that I could fully realize my potential. I bet this book has many of these methods within its pages.
Would love to have a copy of this book!

I have heard great comments on this book and I hope to obtain a copy to read over my holiday break. I am very intrigued.
The subtitle really caught my attention .
Sounds like this book would be a nice addition to our professional collection.

I would love to have a copy of this book. Thanks for recommending it.
I would love a copy for my professional development collection! I am always wanting to read and learn new things!!
About two weeks ago I heard about this book. I have talked to the folks in our college library and they have ordered a copy. I would love to have a personal copy of the book so that I can 'dog ear' it too!
We are trying to provide this type of learning school wide. I would love to get a copy.
I'm doing a lot of research on the idea of global education and implementing technology to reach more students. This would be an excellent resource!
love disruptions like this one!
I would love to read this book and then I will add it to our professional collection at Morristown High School in Morristown, NJ so that other teachers can read it as well.
I first heard the term disruptive technologies at a workshop for librarians where a librarian from Rutgers Univ. said that if organizations, industry, or institutions didn't embrace disruptive technology than they were doomed to fail. It made me think that as educators if we don't embrace this new paradigm then we are doomed to fail or at least fail our students.
Would love to get this book!
All I have to do is comment? How about provide a link to the book as well? http://disruptingclass.mhprofessional.com/apps/ab/about-the-book/
I have some teachers that really need to read that book! Cool way to do a contest! Good luck!
I have ordered a copy of this book after reading the review on Amazon. [I have added a link to a review of the book.] So, I can't comment on the book yet. However, I can say that I will be sharing this with my daughter who is planning a career in education. I am looking forward to some insightful ideas!
