Download or read book Engaging Minds written by Brent Davis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaging Minds: Cultures of Education and Practices of Teaching explores the diverse beliefs and practices that define the current landscape of formal education. The 3rd edition of this introduction to interdisciplinary studies of teaching and learning to teach is restructured around four prominent historical moments in formal education: Standardized Education, Authentic Education, Democratic Citizenship Education, Systemic Sustainability Education. These moments serve as the foci of the four sections of the book, each with three chapters dealing respectively with history, epistemology, and pedagogy within the moment. This structure makes it possible to read the book in two ways – either "horizontally" through the four in-depth treatments of the moments or "vertically" through coherent threads of history, epistemology, and pedagogy. Pedagogical features include suggestions for delving deeper to get at subtleties that can’t be simply stated or appreciated through reading alone, several strategies to highlight and distinguish important vocabulary in the text, and more than 150 key theorists and researchers included among the search terms and in the Influences section rather than a formal reference list.

Book Synopsis Exploring Technology-Infused Education in the Post-Pandemic Era by : Tomei, Lawrence A.
Download or read book Exploring Technology-Infused Education in the Post-Pandemic Era written by Tomei, Lawrence A. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-08-05 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the 2020-2022 pandemic, educators find themselves grappling with the decision to revert to traditional instructional methods or embrace the transformative power of 21st-century technologies. The swift integration of virtual classrooms, videoconferencing, and social media during the pandemic has left teachers navigating uncharted territory. Many, who once vehemently resisted technology, now stand on the precipice of a digital revolution in education. This dichotomy poses a pressing problem: a dearth of documented research and guidance for educators seeking to measure the true value of these technologies in the post-pandemic era. Exploring Technology-Infused Education in the Post-Pandemic Era, offers guidance and solutions to the challenges faced by educators. As teachers stand on the brink of a pivotal decision, the research community lags behind in providing the necessary insights to inform their choices. The questions loom large: What technologies emerged during the pandemic, and have they proven effective in the classroom? Can these innovations seamlessly coexist with traditional instructional methods? The void in documented research leaves educators in a quandary, lacking the evidence needed to make informed decisions about the integration of technology into their teaching practices. This critical gap impedes progress and hinders the unleashing of the full potential of 21st-century educational tools.

What emerging education leadership styles are shifting pedagogy and why should we be taking notice of this? What are the essential benefits of embedding online global collaboration into the curriculum? What are simple steps that educators in the classroom can take to become more globally minded and start to change their practice? How are emerging digital technologies supporting this move to online global learning and collaboration? In addition to answering these questions, the book provides practical resources and powerful case studies from educators and education leaders in the United States and throughout the world who are forging connections across the globe, embedding these practices into current curriculum objectives and providing their students with invaluable educational experiences, including: — more — Yvonne Marie Andres, a California-based global collaboration expert and co-founder of Global SchoolNet, which has been at the forefront of telecommunication-based learning.
