Описание: Forced into the underground by an oppressive global government, a brilliant engineer, Slade, has secretly developed the most revolutionary biotechnology mankind has ever known...but when he and his wife are brutally murdered, a vicious liaison of a hellish dimension tears Slade across space and time, damning him to a dark netherworld. Fooled into bartering his scientific knowledge for a second chance at life, Slade is forced to use that technology to survive his resurrection. Now, more a demonic machine than man, Slade must journey through the wilderness of the hell dimension in an unlikely alliance with demons. As he hones his skills to exact his revenge, he learns that the stakes are higher than he ever anticipated - he must prevent apocalypse at the hands of his power-hungry captor from the netherworld, whose traitorous plot supersedes even the evil designs of Hell`s rulers. The ultimate conflict explodes through the fabric of both dimensions. As man and demon spill blood and evil closes in from every quarter, can Slade learn to use his newfound strength, and hatred, to destroy his nemesis? In the midst of fighting for his life in the wilds of an alien dimension, Slade experiences revelations that throw into question everything that he thought he knew, thought he believed...thought he was. With his entire reality thrown into upheaval and the countdown to apocalypse looming, can Slade regain control of his shattered mind and altered body in time to find the truth and overcome the forces of destruction?

Описание: This textbook is a comprehensive and practical guide to teaching middle level social studies. Middle level students are just as capable as high school students at engaging in hands-on, progressive, reflective activities, yet pedagogical strategies designed specifically for the middle grades are often overlooked in teacher education programs. This text provides both progressive and traditional teaching methods and strategies proven effective in the middle level classroom. The content of this book consists of conventional chapters such as "What is Social Studies?" and "Unit and Curriculum Planning," as well as unique chapters such as "The Middle Level Learner", "Best Practices for Teaching State History" and "Integrating the "Core" Subjects in Middle Level Social Studies".

Описание: Education badly needs effective innovations that can help produce high-quality learning outcomes across the system. The primary focus of educational innovations should be on teaching and learning theory and practice, as well as on the learner, parent, community, society, and culture. Technology applications need a solid theoretical foundation based on purposeful, systemic research, and a sound pedagogy.
Theoretical and Practical Approaches to Innovation in Higher Education is an essential scholarly publication that outlines the classification of innovations, discusses the hurdles to innovation, and offers ways to increase the scale and rate of innovation-based transformations in the education system. The publication argues that raising the quality and scale of innovations in education will positively affect education itself and benefit society. Highlighting topics such as academic integrity, e-learning, and learner engagement, this book is vital for higher education professionals, academicians, educators, librarians, course designers, researchers, and students.

Описание: Teaching Gradually is a guide for anyone new to teaching and learning in higher education. Written for graduate student instructors, by graduate students with substantive teaching experience, this resource is among the first of its kind to speak to graduate students as comrades-in-arms with voices from alongside them in the trenches, rather than from far behind the lines. Each author featured in this book was a graduate student at the time they wrote their contribution. Consequently, the following chapters give scope to a newer, diverse generation of educators who are closer in experience and professional age to the book's intended audience. The tools, methods, and ideas discussed here are ones that the authors have found most useful in teaching today's students. Each chapter offers a variety of strategies for successful classroom practices that are often not explicitly covered in graduate training.
Overall, this book consists of 42 chapters written by 51 authors who speak from a vast array of backgrounds and viewpoints, and who represent abroad spectrum of experience spanning small, large, public, and private institutions of higher education. Each chapter offers targeted advice that speaks to the learning curve inherent to early-career teaching, while presenting tangible strategies that readers can leverage to address the dynamic professional landscape they inhabit. The contributors' stories and reflections provide the context to build the reader's confidence in trying new approaches in their his or her teaching.
This book covers a wide range of topics designed to appeal to graduate student instructors across disciplines, from those teaching discussion sections, to those managing studio classes and lab sessions, to those serving as the instructor of record for their own course. Despite the medley of content, two common threads run throughout this volume: a strong focus on diversity and inclusion, and an acknowledgment of the increasing shift to online teaching.
As a result of engaging with Teaching Gradually, readers will be able to:
Identify best teaching practices to enhance student learning.
Develop a plan to implement these strategies in their teaching.
Expand their conception of contexts in which teaching and learning can take place.
Evaluate and refine their approaches to fostering inclusion in and out of the classroom.
Assess student learning and the efficacy of their own teaching practices.

Описание: Blended (also called hybrid) classrooms, in which face-to-face interaction is intentionally combined with online activities to aid student learning, are becoming more and more common. Most recently, "flipped" classrooms have become a popular method for teaching because more time for active learning in-class can be gained by moving content delivery such as lecture to outside-of-class homework using technology tools such as video or lecture capture. The blended model is proving to be an environment that provides more self-directed, technology-mediated learning experiences for students who will be incorporating technology more and more into their professional lives post-college.
The Blended Course Design Workbook meets the need for a user-friendly resource that provides faculty members and administrators with instructions, activities, tools, templates, and deadlines to guide them through the process of revising their traditional face-to-face course into a blended format.
Providing a step-by-step course design process that emphasizes active learning and student engagement, this book will help instructors adapt traditional face-to-face courses to a blended environment by guiding them through the development of course goals and learning objectives, assignments, assessments, and student support mechanisms with technology integration in mind. It will also help instructors choose the right technologies based on an instructor's comfort level with technology and their specific pedagogical needs. The book will help each instructor who uses the text to develop a unique course by making choices about their course design based on student learning needs for their chosen topic and discipline. Every component of the workbook has been piloted with faculty designing and implementing blended courses and then revised to better meet the needs of faculty across a range of comfort levels with technology use.
The Blended Course Design Workbook includes detailed instructions for each stage of course design alongside specific activities that the reader can complete. The book is unique because it facilitates a step-by-step process for blended course design with specific templates and tools that can be used across disciplines.
