Review

"How schools portray themselves is even more important in this information-rich society, and rather than being afraid of the challenges, schools should embrace the opportunities available that are able to share the daily magical moments that take place in school. If the communication systems are now out-dated within your school, then this is the book for you."— Colin Hill, UKEdChat
