Learning First, Technology Second in Practice: New Strategies, Research and Tools for Student Success
by Liz KolbBuilding on the bestselling Learning First, Technology Second, this book helps teachers choose technology tools and instructional strategies based on an understanding of how students learn. <p><p>After observing teachers and students interact with technology over many years, Liz Kolb began to wonder: While students' attention levels are high when they use digital devices, how can we move them to an equally high level of commitment to their learning tasks?

For readers new to the framework, this book provides all of the essential research and tools mentioned above, along with an overview of the framework, so they can apply what they learn without missing a beat.

Learning Capitalist Culture: Deep in the Heart of Tejas (Contemporary Ethnography)
by Douglas E. FoleyLearning Capitalist Culture presents an updated ethnographic study of the small, economically depressed, predominantly Mexican American south Texas town. Many communities in the Southwest, North Town has undergone cultural and political change since the late 1960s, when the Chicano civil rights movement emerged and challenged the segregated racial order. The resulting racial confrontation between Mexican's and Anglo's created new tensions and problems for North Town youth. <p><p> Douglas E. Foley examines the way in which these youth learn traditional American values through participation in sports, membership in formal and informal social groups, dating, and interactions with teachers in the classroom. Foley shows how the rituals involved in these activities tend to preserve or reproduce class and gender inequalities, even as Mexicanos transform the racial order. This edition contains updated sections on theory and field methods, as well as an epilogue that revisits many of the characters in the original ethnographic research.
