7 books for teachers of computing and ICT

July 25, 2016

Here are 7 book reviews, inspired by "micro" flash fiction. Flash fiction is the term used for very short stories, typically under 1,000 words. There is a sub-branch of flash fiction called nano fiction: stories that are no more than 55 words in length, and another type of story that consists of only 6 words. I've decided to call that "micro" fiction.

So these reviews are just 6 words long. 

What's yours is mine

Review of Blueprints

I submitted my review of this book to Teach Secondary magazine, an educational magazine in the UK. The first review is what the magazine published. The second one is what I actually wrote! In substantive terms there is little difference between the two, but you may find it interesting to see what the editor altered.
