Critical Reviews
This engaging new series introduces the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards through short, approachable stories about young students using technology to solve problems and share knowledge. Each book highlights a real-world application: Ana codes a pollination game to teach her buddy in India; Hagan researches whales with help from a marine biologist and collaborates on a class presentation; Jack designs an inclusive playground using 3-D software; and Sonia promotes kindness and safety as a digital citizen. The class is diverse, creative, and tech-savvy, modeling collaboration and innovation. Large, colorful illustrations and short chapters support emerging readers, while the strong educational focus aligns well with classroom instruction. VERDICT A purposeful addition to classroom collections where STEM and digital citizenship are priorities; less likely to appeal in general library settings without curricular support.-- "School Library Journal"
