Mindstorms: Children, Computers, And Powerful Ideas
by Seymour A. PapertIn this revolutionary book, a renowned computer scientist explains the importance of teaching children the basics of computing and how it can prepare them to succeed in the ever-evolving tech world.Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have Mindstorms to thank for that. In this book, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the case for the value of teaching children with computers. Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers.Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. For thousands of teachers and parents who have sought creative ways to help children learn with computers, Mindstorms is their bible.

Mineral Resources, Grade 11: STEM Road Map for High School (STEM Road Map Curriculum Series)
by Carla C. Johnson Erin E. Peters-Burton Janet B. WaltonWhat if you could challenge your eleventh graders to come up with a design solution for developing, managing, and utilizing mineral resources? With this volume in the STEM Road Map Curriculum Series, you can! Mineral Resources outlines a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving while grounding them in integrated STEM disciplines. Like the other volumes in the series, this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K–12 classrooms. This interdisciplinary, three-lesson module uses project- and problem-based learning to help students develop an in-depth understanding of mineral resources by researching the utility and impact of particular mineral resources on society. Working in teams, students will locate quantitative and qualitative data on mineral resources and discern the reliability of the information, then use their data to write an opinion article and develop a website to convince readers of the effectiveness of a particular design solution for developing, managing, and utilizing mineral resources. To support this goal, students will do the following: Explain how mineral resources are located and used in various ways in society. Explain why mineral resources are important to society. Critically evaluate quantitative and qualitative data about mineral resources. Write an opinion article demonstrating their knowledge about competing design solutions for extracting mineral resources. The STEM Road Map Curriculum Series is anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. In-depth and flexible, Mineral Resources can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts, schools, and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach.

Ming Goes to School
by Deirdre Sullivan Maja LöfdahlMing goes to school, where she learns to say hello and good-bye. She meets new friends and introduces them to old friends (including her favorite teddy). She builds sandcastles and makes snow angels; she traces, glitters, and glues. She is so fearless that when held at sword point, she even walks the plank! And when she’s playing in the mud, she reaches out and touches the worms with her bare hands. But despite those brave deeds, she isn’t quite ready for the big red slide-not yet.This is a very sweet story with soft, evocative watercolor illustrations that will help kids to grow comfortable with the idea of starting preschool. Ming is curious and playful and ready for adventure, but even she gets scared of new things sometimes. Kids will relate to her desires and fears and will be excited to see Ming at the top of the slide by the story’s end.A quiet and reassuring picture book for preschoolers (3-5), this is a wonderful going-to-school story that can be read both at home and in the classroom or childcare center. The illustrations provide a lot of diversity of characters, making this feel like any classroom in any school in the country.
Minimal Languages in Action
by Cliff GoddardThis edited book explores the rising interest in minimal languages – radically simplified languages using cross-translatable words and grammar, fulfilling the widely-recognised need to use language which is clear, accessible and easy to translate. The authors draw on case studies from around the world to demonstrate how early adopters have been putting Minimal English, Minimal Finnish, and other minimal languages into action: in language teaching and learning, ‘easy language’ projects, agricultural development training, language revitalisation, intercultural education, paediatric assessment, and health messaging. As well as reporting how minimal languages are being put into service, the contributors explore how minimal languages can be adapted, localised and implemented differently for different purposes. Like its predecessor Minimal English for a Global World: Improved Communication Using Fewer Words (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), the book will appeal to students and scholars of applied linguistics, language education and translation studies, as well as to professionals in any field where accessibility and translatability matter.

Ministerielle Steuerung von Universitäten durch Kennzahlen: Eine empirische Analyse in fünf Bundesländern (Higher Education Research and Science Studies)
by Björn MöllerAusgangspunkt der Dissertation ist der Wandel des Verhältnisses zwischen Staat und Universitäten unter dem Paradigmenwechsel des New Public Managements. Dies führte unter anderem dazu, dass die Funktionen des Staates zu Lasten der Einflussmöglichkeiten in den Hochschulbereich reduziert wurden und dem Staat drohte, den Einblick in die Universitäten zu verlieren. Um diesem drohenden Verlust entgegenzuwirken, nutzte der Staat vermehrt kennzahlenbasierte Steuerungsinstrumente. Daraus ergab sich die übergreifende Fragestellung, welche Bedeutung metrifizierende Berichtspflichten und metrifizierte Berichte bei der ministeriellen Steuerung von Universitäten haben. Zur Analyse dieses organisationssoziologischen Problems der Hochschulforschung wurde ein politikwissenschaftlicher Zugang gewählt. Dieser ermöglicht die in der Hochschulforschung häufig abstrakte Beschreibung der Politik als „Staat“ dezidiert auszuformulieren und gleichzeitig die Universität als Untersuchungsgegenstand in der Politikwissenschaft zu etablieren. Daran anknüpfend wurde die Prinzipal-Agenten-Theorie als theoretischer Zugang gewählt. Diese bietet den Vorteil, das hierarchische Verhältnis zwischen Ministerial- und Universitätsvertreter:innen angemessen berücksichtigen zu können.
