Creativity, Technology, and Learning: Theory for Classroom Practice
by Florence R. SullivanCreativity, Technology, and Learning provides a comprehensive introduction to theories and research on creativity in education and, in particular, to the role of digital-learning technologies in enabling creativity across classroom learning environments. Topical coverage includes play, constructionism, multimodal learning and project-/problem-based learning. Creativity is uniquely positioned throughout the book as an integral component of the educational process and also as a foundational aspect of self-actualization, thriving communities, and humane societies.Through in-depth, empirically based discussions of the philosophical, curricular and pedagogical elements of creativity, Sullivan demonstrates how creativity can be fostered across the curriculum through the use of digital-learning technologies in design, personal expression and problem-solving activities.

Credential Market: Mass Schooling, Academic Power and the International Baccalaureate Diploma (International Study of City Youth Education #4)
by Quentin MaireThis book makes an original contribution to credential sociology by analysing how high school certificates become and remain valuable in a context of mass high school participation (i.e. credentialism). Building on a detailed analysis of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, a senior secondary school certificate offered in over 150 countries, Quentin Maire argues that the advent of new private credentials can be understood as a phenomenon of credential stratification in a context of intensified academic competition.Using original data on high school credentials in Australia and internationally, the author makes a strong case for certificates to be studied relationally, by locating them in the credentialing structures in which they are inserted. He systematically applies the comparative method to explain the role of the curriculum, family resources, school segregation and higher education selection in creating a credential hierarchy. His robust combination of theoretical construction and detailed empirical work allows him to offer new insights into social inequality in education systems, credential theory and the IB Diploma.

Credentials: Understand the problems. Identify the opportunities. Create the solutions.
by Paul L. Gaston Michelle Van NoyThe credentials environment grows more complicated by the day, but key questions help us understand why we need this book to help us grapple with those complexities: • Given the expansion in the variety of higher education credentials and in approaches to earning them, why are so many students disappointed with their post-secondary credentials?• Despite the proliferation of credentials tailored to specific careers, why do so many employers complain that the preparation of their new hires is inadequate? • Despite their investment in new programs meant to attract new enrollees, why are so many colleges and universities facing issues with student persistence, timely credential completion, and career success?The plan of the book reflects the authors’ practical aim. In the first of three parts, they offer a broad view of the credentials environment—how credentials work, how a proliferation in credentials has created an unprecedented array of educational choices, and why this abundance is a mixed blessing. In the second part, they focus on categories of credentials, from the associate degree to doctoral degrees to non-degree credentials. The book concludes with two chapters that consider the implications of the information the authors provide for leadership in volatile times: one discusses the importance of maintaining a priority on equity; the other offers 12 propositions for action. To help make the book useful, each chapter begins with a paragraph that summarizes the emphases to follow, and ends with a list of initiatives, i.e., “takeaways,” that leaders (and those attentive to what leaders are doing) should consider.

Creed & Heresies: Then and Now
by Rose PublishingThis beautiful eBook contains the full text of the Apostles Creed and Nicene Creed, and explains why they are important to learn today. In 14 pages you will take a simple easy-to-understand look back to the historical teachings of the church, and bring them to life for today's believers. During the time of the early church (AD 30-AD 400) some key beliefs were misunderstood by Gnostics and other religious groups. Some people couldn't tell the difference between the teachings of Jesus' apostles and the notions that were common in society. It was important to put together short summaries of the essential doctines of the faith. Many of the phrases were written to address particular false beliefs. The eBook shows that many of the questionable teachings of 2000 years ago are still around. Understanding how the church dealt with these issues in the past helps us to deal with those same issues today. A clear simple explanation of the church's response to ancient heresies, many of which are common in today's cultic groups and other religions.CHART 1Concise easy-to-understand chart with explanations of these groups. They are important to know because so many modern heresies are similar to them. Without a chart such as this, it is difficult to tell the truth from an incorrect belief because groups use the same terms.*Docetism*Ebionitism*Adoptionism*Manicheanism*Marcionism*Modalism*Montanism*Apollinarianism*Arianism*Macedonianism*Pelagianism*NestorianismCHARTS 2, 3 and 4These charts explain each part of the three Creeds line by line and give Bible references for each phrase.*Apostles Creed*Nicene CreedCHART 5Side-by-side comparison of Gnostic and Christian beliefs on:*Jesus, Salvation, Origin of Evil*Cosmonogy (origin of the universe) and Cosmology (the nature, order, and function of the universe)This eBook will make the Creeds come alive. It takes important concepts and makes them clear and understandable for youth, college, and adults.Ideas for using this eBook:*Confirmation and baptism and communion-preparation classes*Parents of confirmation students*Teacher training on the basic beliefs of Christianity*Personal devotional reading*Small group or Bible studyCopy Reader's Note: I loved reading this eBook because it answers the question: "How would I summarize the key teachings of Christianity in one 2-minute explanation?" Have you ever tried it with someone from another country? It's really tough to go through Christian beliefs and word them just right. The Creeds were the ancient version of today's "elevator pitch." It was the two-minute clarification of what Christians believed and what they didn't.

Creo Parametric 9.0 Tutorial
by Roger ToogoodThe eleven lessons in this tutorial introduce you to the design capabilities of Creo Parametric 9.0. The tutorial covers the major concepts and frequently used commands to advance from a novice to an intermediate user level. Major topics include part and assembly creation and the creation of engineering drawings. Also illustrated are the major functions that make Creo Parametric a parametric solid modeler. Although the commands are presented in a click-by-click manner, an effort has been made, in addition to showing/illustrating the command usage, to explain why certain commands are being used and the relation of feature selection and construction to the overall part design philosophy. Simply knowing where commands can be found is only half the battle. As is pointed out numerous times in the text, creating useful and effective models of parts and assemblies requires advance planning and forethought. Moreover, since error recovery is an important skill, considerable time is spent exploring the created models. In fact, some errors are intentionally induced so that users will become comfortable with the "debugging" phase of model creation. At the end of each lesson is a short quiz reviewing the new topics covered in that chapter. Following the quiz are several simple "exercise" parts that can be created using new commands taught in that lesson. In addition to these, an ongoing project is also included throughout the book. This project consists of several parts that are introduced with the early lessons and finally assembled at the end. Who this book is for This book has been written specifically with students in mind. Typically, students enter their first CAD course with a broad range of abilities, both in spatial visualization and computer skills. The approach taken here is meant to allow accessibility to persons of all levels. These lessons, therefore, were written for new users with no previous experience with CAD, although some familiarity with computers is assumed.

Crespar Findings (1994-1999): In Memory of John H. Hollifield. A Special Double Issue of the journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk
by A. Wade Boykin Robert SlavinThis double issue presents summaries of the scholarly and practical-reform accomplishments of the first five years of the Center for Research on the Education of Students Placed at Risk (CRESPAR). This bold, five-year initiative addressed several of the problems that most directly challenge the values and practical aspirations of modern democracies. The included articles emphasize how CRESPAR has focused on the schools in many of America's most challenging communities. It has both helped local schools improve themselves and advanced the nation's research base. This issue was written in commemoration of the life and work of John Henry Hollifield, Jr., founding coeditor. For 28 years, Hollifield served as an editor and administrator at Johns Hopkins University's Center for Social Organization of Schools. When JESPAR was just an idea, Hollifield was one of the people who most strongly advocated its development. He had a ready smile, a fine editorial touch, and a relentless will to produce each excellent issue. This issue, summarizing much of the research from CRESPAR's first five years, is presented by the full team of authors in his loving memory.

Criar desde el corazón: Soluciones honestas de la infancia a la adolescencia
by Beatriz M. Muñoz Nitdia AznárezTras el éxito de sus libros anteriores, Beatriz M. Muñoz y Nitdia Aznárez, traen Criar desde el corazón, una guía familiar para educar de forma más consciente, a través de la simbiosis de Montessori, la disciplina positiva y la conexión con uno mismo y la naturaleza. En este nuevo enfoque, ofrecen herramientas y soluciones respetuosas para que nuestros pequeños sean más autónomos y responsables, y especialmente para que cada miembro de la familia encuentre su lugar, y así, crezcan sintiéndose vistos y amados de forma incondicional. Para ello, es necesario que las personas adultas cultivemos también la conexión con nuestro niño interior, porque si queremos enfrentarnos a los retos diarios y a las necesidades de nuestros hijos e hijas desde la honestidad, tendremos que empezar por cuidarnos y comprendernos a nosotros mismos. Con este completo manual, aprenderemos a dejar atrás los castigos, los premios y todas las prácticas que no cultivan el amor incondicional, y a construir un entorno seguro, alentador y de calma familiar para nuestros hijos, desde su primera infancia hasta su adolescencia, sin perder el foco de la compasión y la benevolencia hacia nosotros mismos.
