Extramural English in Teaching and Learning
by Pia Sundqvist Liss Kerstin SylvénThis book is unique in bringing together theory, research, and practice about English encountered outside the classroom - extramural English - and how it affects teaching and learning. The book investigates ways in which learners successfully develop their language skills through extramural English and provides tools for teachers to make use of free time activities in primary and secondary education. The authors demonstrate that learning from involvement in extramural English activities tends to be incidental and is currently underutilized in classroom work. A distinctive strength is that this volume is grounded in theory, builds on results from empirical studies, and manages to link theory and research with practice in a reader-friendly way. Teacher-educators, teachers and researchers of English as a foreign language and teachers of English as a second language across the globe will find this book useful in developing their use of extramural English activities as tools for language learning.

Extraordinary Everyday Photography: Awaken Your Vision to Create Stunning Images Wherever You Are
by Brenda Tharp Jed ManwaringGet inspired to discover the beautiful images around youPhotographers are born travelers. They'll go any distance to capture the right light, beautiful landscapes, wildlife, and people. But exotic locales aren't necessary for interesting photographs.

Inspiring photo examples from the authors, taken with DSLRs, compact digital cameras, and even iPhones, show that it is the photographer's eye and creative vision--not the gear--that make a great image.

Extraordinary Learning in the Workplace
by Janet P. HaflerThe contributing authors of this multidisciplinary text agree that workplace learning truly is extraordinary when it is marked by structural congruence and a positive synergy among the intended and formal preparation of professionals, that tacit learning occurs within the hidden curriculum, and that the subsequent demands, both formal and tacit, are embedded in subsequent workplace settings. Thus, for this text, these authors explore research and practice literature related to curriculum, instruction and assessment of professionals' learning in the workplace and the implications for best practices. But what makes this book truly unique is that the authors examine that literature in the context of four professions--education, nursing, medicine and clergy--at the point of those professions wherein students are learning during the degree program stages of their education. Extraordinary Learning in the Workplace is broken into four main sections. Part I explores curriculum, both formal and hidden. Part II focuses on conceptions and theories of learning and instruction and is intended to inform the work of educators with regard to components of professional education that occur in the practice settings of the workplace. Part III covers assessment, using medicine as its example to argue that assessment has remained largely unchanged for years, thus making the multiple choice questions tests introduced in the 1950s the de facto gold standard for "quality" assessment. And Part IV focuses on the training of the instructors, visiting the three key themes of relationships, activities or tasks, and work practices.

Extreme Elvin (Elvin #2)
by Chris LynchElvin Bishop is fourteen -- an official Young Adult (and you know "that term one was dreamed up by an old adult). Having barely survived the sports camp that he and his best friends, Frankie and Mikie, attended in "Slot Machine", Elvin is actually ready for high school to begin. Or so he thinks. Suddenly, Elvin's hurled into a whole new social scene, where relationships -- the "right" relationships -- are the name of the game. Leave it to Elvin to fall hard for exactly the wrong kind of girl -- the kind of girl who is definitely "not" a part of any guy's cool plan. And that's just the beginning of his problems. Because what happens when everything that used to be so simple -- like friendship -- changes? With an appetite that forces him to shop at the Big and Tall, a mother who still talks to her long-dead husband, and a nasty case of hemorrhoids, is becoming cool something that someone like Elvin can even pull off? In this second book about Elvin, Chris Lynch has written the love story to end all love stories -- and a multi-layered look at the hysterical trials and tribulations of one guy's introductions to Young Adulthood. The entire cast of "Slot Machine" is back: good-looking, popular Frankie; dependable Mikie; the ominous Senior Boys; and the sarcastic and loving Mrs. Bishop. This time, though, there are girls on the scene.

Eye Gaze in Intelligent User Interfaces
by Cristina Conati Thomas Bader Yukiko I. NakanoRemarkable progress in eye-tracking technologies opened the way to design novel attention-based intelligent user interfaces, and highlighted the importance of better understanding of eye-gaze in human-computer interaction and human-human communication. For instance, a user's focus of attention is useful in interpreting the user's intentions, their understanding of the conversation, and their attitude towards the conversation. In human face-to-face communication, eye gaze plays an important role in floor management, grounding, and engagement in conversation. Eye Gaze in Intelligent User Interfaces draws on ideas from a number of contributors working on how attentional information can be applied to novel intelligent interfaces. Part I focuses on analyzing human eye gaze behaviors to reveal characteristics of human communication and cognition; Part II addresses estimation and prediction of the cognitive state of the users using gaze information; and Part III presents proposals of novel gaze-aware interfaces which integrate eye-trackers as a system component. The contributions highlight a direction for the future of human-computer interaction, and discuss issues in human attentional behaviors and face-to-face communication which are essential in designing gaze aware interactive interfaces.

Eye-Tracking in der Mathematik- und Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik: Forschung und Praxis
by Pascal Klein Nicole Graulich Jochen Kuhn Maike SchindlerDieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit aktuellen Studien und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Eye-Tracking in der Mathematik- oder Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik: Was betrachten Lernende, wenn sie einen naturwissenschaftlichen Text lesen, mathematische Muster erkunden oder mit einem Diagramm arbeiten? Wie fokussieren und verteilen sie ihre Aufmerksamkeit beim Lösen mathematischer und naturwissenschaftlicher Aufgaben? Eye-Tracking liefert Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen und kann somit dazu beitragen, Lernprozesse besser zu verstehen, Lernmaterialien und Lehrprozesse zu optimieren oder Unterschiede zwischen verschiedenen Expertisegruppen aufzudecken. Dieses Buch stellt aktuelle Studien aus der Mathematik- und Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik (Biologie, Chemie, Physik, Informatik) zusammen, die Eye-Tracking als zentrale Forschungsmethode zur Beantwortung von Fragestellungen entlang der Bildungskette (Primar- und Sekundarstufen sowie Universität) nutzen. Dabei wird deutlich, wie Eye-Tracking bereits etablierte Forschungsmethoden der empirisch forschenden Fachdidaktik, wie das Laute Denken, den Einsatz von Fragebögen oder Experteninterviews, ergänzt.Das Buch zeigt die vielfältigen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Eye-Tracking in der Mathematik- und Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik und enthält zahlreiche Best-Practice-Beispiele zum Design und zur Auswertung wissenschaftlicher Studien zum Thema. Das Buch richtet sich damit sowohl an Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler mit unterschiedlicher Erfahrung im Bereich Eye-Tracking als auch an (zukünftige) Lehrkräfte und Dozierende, da aus den empirischen Befunden Handlungsempfehlungen für den Unterricht bzw. die Lehre gegeben werden.

Eyewitness to the Past: Strategies for Teaching American History in Grades 5-12
by Joan SchurThroughout history, people have often expressed controversial and conflicting interpretations of current events. In this unique resource, Joan Brodsky Schur reveals how compelling and engaging the study of history becomes when students use documents to imagine living through events in American history. Eyewitness to the Past examines six types of primary sources: diaries, travelogues, letters, news articles, speeches, and scrapbooks. Teachers will find interactive strategies to help students analyze the unique properties of each, and apply to them their own written work and oral argument. Students learn to express opposing viewpoints in documents, classroom interactions, and simulations such as staging congressional hearings, elections, or protests. They build crucial analytical thinking and presentation skills. Used together, the six strategies offer a varied and cohesive structure for studying the American past that reinforces material in the textbook, encourages creativity, activates different learning styles, and strengthens cognitive skills. Each chapter provides detailed instructions for implementing an eyewitness strategy set in a specific era of American history, and includes extensions for adapting the strategy to other time periods. In addition to the primary sources included in the book, examples of student work are presented throughout to aid teachers in evaluating the work of their own students. Rubrics and a list of resources are offered for each eyewitness strategy.
