Book Synopsis How People Learn by : National Research Council
Download or read book How People Learn written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-08-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First released in the Spring of 1999, How People Learn has been expanded to show how the theories and insights from the original book can translate into actions and practice, now making a real connection between classroom activities and learning behavior. This edition includes far-reaching suggestions for research that could increase the impact that classroom teaching has on actual learning. Like the original edition, this book offers exciting new research about the mind and the brain that provides answers to a number of compelling questions. When do infants begin to learn? How do experts learn and how is this different from non-experts? What can teachers and schools do-with curricula, classroom settings, and teaching methodsâ€"to help children learn most effectively? New evidence from many branches of science has significantly added to our understanding of what it means to know, from the neural processes that occur during learning to the influence of culture on what people see and absorb. How People Learn examines these findings and their implications for what we teach, how we teach it, and how we assess what our children learn. The book uses exemplary teaching to illustrate how approaches based on what we now know result in in-depth learning. This new knowledge calls into question concepts and practices firmly entrenched in our current education system. Topics include: How learning actually changes the physical structure of the brain. How existing knowledge affects what people notice and how they learn. What the thought processes of experts tell us about how to teach. The amazing learning potential of infants. The relationship of classroom learning and everyday settings of community and workplace. Learning needs and opportunities for teachers. A realistic look at the role of technology in education.
Book Synopsis Bring the World to the Child by : Katie Day Good
Download or read book Bring the World to the Child written by Katie Day Good and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How, long before the advent of computers and the internet, educators used technology to help students become media-literate, future-ready, and world-minded citizens. Today, educators, technology leaders, and policy makers promote the importance of “global,” “wired,” and “multimodal” learning; efforts to teach young people to become engaged global citizens and skilled users of media often go hand in hand. But the use of technology to bring students into closer contact with the outside world did not begin with the first computer in a classroom. In this book, Katie Day Good traces the roots of the digital era's “connected learning” and “global classrooms” to the first half of the twentieth century, when educators adopted a range of media and materials—including lantern slides, bulletin boards, radios, and film projectors—as what she terms “technologies of global citizenship.” Good describes how progressive reformers in the early twentieth century made a case for deploying diverse media technologies in the classroom to promote cosmopolitanism and civic-minded learning. To “bring the world to the child,” these reformers praised not only new mechanical media—including stereoscopes, photography, and educational films—but also humbler forms of media, created by teachers and children, including scrapbooks, peace pageants, and pen pal correspondence. The goal was a “mediated cosmopolitanism,” teaching children to look outward onto a fast-changing world—and inward, at their own national greatness. Good argues that the public school system became a fraught site of global media reception, production, and exchange in American life, teaching children to engage with cultural differences while reinforcing hegemonic ideas about race, citizenship, and US-world relations.

Book Synopsis Vocabulary and the Four Skills by : Jon Clenton
Download or read book Vocabulary and the Four Skills written by Jon Clenton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-05 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides a single coherent overview of vocabulary teaching and learning in relation to each of the four skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking). Each of the four sections presents a skill area with two chapters presented by two leading experts in the field, relating recent advances in the field to the extent that each skill area relates differently to vocabulary and how this informs pedagogy and policy. The book opens with a summary of recent advances in the field of vocabulary, and closes by drawing conclusions from the skill areas covered. The chapters respond to emerging vocabulary research trends that indicate that lexical acquisition needs to be treated differently according to the skill area. The editors have chosen chapters to respond to recent research advances and to highlight practical and pedagogical application in a single coherent volume.

Download or read book The Global Class War written by Jeff Faux and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2010-12-29 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaim for The Global Class War "You will never think about 'free trade' the same way after reading Jeff Faux's superb book. As Faux makes clear, the globalization debate is really about whose interests are served by global elites, and how we need to go about reclaiming a democracy that serves ordinary people. This book should transform public discourse in America." -Robert Kuttner, founding coeditor of the American Prospect and a contributing columnist to BusinessWeek "Jeff Faux's astonishing story of how class works will scandalize the best names in Wall Street and Washington-especially the much admired Robert Rubin, who along with other elites colluded behind the backs of ordinary citizens in Mexico, Canada, and the United States. The most cynical Americans will be shocked by the sordid details. This really is an important book." -William Greider, author of The Soul of Capitalism and Secrets of the Temple "Globalization is a cover for American imperialism, but the beneficiaries are not the American people at the expense of foreigners but corporate executives at the expense of working-class and poor people wherever they may be. Jeff Faux offers a comprehensive and devastating analysis." -Chalmers Johnson, author of The Sorrows of Empire

Download or read book Code Equity written by Tara Linney and published by Tara Linney. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All around the world, schools are adopting computer science into the curriculum. Districts and Ministries of Education across the U.S. and in countries from England to New Zealand are beginning to require teachers to teach computer programming in grades as early as Kindergarten. While there are several programs and books that exist which focus on the teaching of programming, there's one important factor that doesn't get the attention it deserves. Gender equity.Code Equity: Keying Girls into Coding starts with a brief history of the women and men behind the evolution of computer programming, then taking the reader into proven pedagogical practices to create a culture of gender equity in the learning environment. Other topics include curricular integrations for the K-8 educator, tied to both CCSS and ISTE Standards; and empowerment opportunities specifically for girls in an extra-curricular environment.Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals centers on Achieving gender equality and empowering all girls and women. In order to reach gender equality, we must first ensure that there is gender equity (that the opportunity to succeed exists). Gender equity is an issue that exists across several tech and STEM-based career fields. We see the headlines on a daily basis and take part in the movements like the latest #TimesUp. The real change in closing the gender gap in these fields begins in how we educate our students. From the teaching practices that we employ to our hiring practices for the educators in these roles. Every little change can make a huge impact on the future.

Book Synopsis Educating in Dialog by : Sebastian Feller
Download or read book Educating in Dialog written by Sebastian Feller and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educating in Dialog: Constructing meaning and building knowledge with dialogic technology contains a collection of new articles on the relationship of learning, dialog and technology. The articles combine different views of dialogic learning stemming from a multiplicity of discipline backgrounds and research interests including educational design, educational science, epistemology, cognitive linguistics, cultural studies, and mobile learning, to name a few. The authors discuss and explore a variety of topics that range from knowledge building over learning communities to dialogic technologies for knowledge co‐construction. Discussing technology and learning against this broad background is indispensable, as the gap between what learners actually need for successful learning and what current technology offers becomes increasingly wide. This book provides thought-provoking views of recent developments in the area of technology supported learning for everyone who is interested in educational technologies, collaborative learning, and dialog.
