New Harbinger Publications The Social Media Workbook for Teens: Skills to
Book SynopsisIs social media stressing you out? Written by a millennial psychologist and media expert, this workbook offers practical skills to help you reduce anxiety, balance screen time, deal with cyberbullies, and take charge of your life. Social media has drastically changed how we communicate with one another. In many ways this is a good thing. For example, it's easier than ever to stay connected to family and friends who live far away. But social media can also become addictive, stressful, and even alienating. If you're like many teens, you probably check your smartphone several times throughout the day to stay up to date on the news from friends. But what happens when you're so worried about missing the latest posts on your feed that you end up missing out on real life adventures and connections? Grounded in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this unique and relatable workbook will help you manage the stress and anxiety that can result from excessive screen time. You'll discover how to choose friends over followers, find tips for navigating cyberbullying, and discover new ways to get back in touch with your own life-without your smartphone or other devices. Social media has an important place in your life-but it shouldn't rule your life. It's also important to remember that the "highlight reels" you see of your friends' lives aren't necessarily the "real" truth. If you're ready to reduce social media stress, gain confidence in yourself, and become more engaged in the world around you, this workbook will show you how.

University of Illinois Press COMPUGIRLS
Book SynopsisWhat does is it mean for girls of color to become techno-social change agents--individuals who fuse technological savvy with a deep understanding of society in order to analyze and confront inequality? Kimberly A. Scott explores this question and others as she details the National Science Foundation-funded enrichment project COMPUGIRLS. This groundbreaking initiative teaches tech skills to adolescent girls of color but, as importantly, offers a setting that emphasizes empowerment, community advancement, and self-discovery. Scott draws on her experience as an architect of COMPUGIRLS to detail the difficulties of translating participants' lives into a digital context while tracing how the program evolved. The dramatic stories of the participants show them blending newly developed technical and communication skills in ways designed to spark effective action and bring about important change. A compelling merger of theory and storytelling, COMPUGIRLS provides a much-needed roadmap for undTrade Review"It is not hard to see this book's contributions to the educational and broader socially specific research domain; it is a strong example of a community-engaged intervention/project that relies upon the strengths and characteristics of those already present." --Sociology of Race and Ethnicity"COMPUGIRLS is a compelling and thought-provoking study of girls' of color agency as they become social justice actors in the context of the new digital world. The author asks hard questions about barometers we should use in inclusion studies and projects a critical lens on many interventions focused on underrepresentation in the fields of computing. Brava for this work. The world needs more of these social justice actors!"--Jane Margolis, author of Stuck in the Shallow End: Education, Race, and Computing"Transformative pedagogies are needed in today’s efforts to realize digital inclusion for all. COMPUGIRLS showcases compelling examples of how it can and should be done. Kimberly Scott succeeds in providing provocative portraits of girls that challenge dominant narratives around who and what computing is for."--Yasmin B. Kafai, Lori and Michael Milken President’s Distinguished Professor, University of Pennsylvania"With recent events raising awareness of existing social inequalities that disadvantage girls of color, Kimberly Scott’s COMPUGIRLS: How Girls of Color Find and Define Themselves in the Digital Age serves as a platform for centering and celebrating the lived experiences of girls of color as they create a place for themselves in technological spaces which tend to render them invisible. This book reminds us that every girl, regardless of race, ethnicity, class, sexual identity, or physical ability, has the potential to change the world!"--Yolanda A.

Information Age Publishing Preparing Pre-Service Teachers to Teach Computer
Book SynopsisComputer science has emerged as a key driver of innovation in the 21st century. Yet preparing teachers to teach computer science or integrate computer science content into K-12 curricula remains an enormous challenge. Recent policy reports have suggested the need to prepare future teachers to teach computer science through pre-service teacher education programs. In order to prepare a generation of teachers who are capable of delivering computer science to students, however, the field must identify research-based examples, pedagogical strategies, and policies that can facilitate changes in teacher knowledge and practices.The purpose of this book is to provide examples that could help guide the design and delivery of effective teacher preparation on the teaching of computer science.This book identifies promising pathways, pedagogical strategies, and policies that will help teacher education faculty and preservice teachers infuse computer science content into their curricula as well as teach stand-alone computing courses. Specifically, the book focuses on pedagogical practices for developing and assessing pre-service teacher knowledge of computer science, course design models for pre-service teachers, and discussion of policies that can support the teaching of computer science. The primary audience of the book is students and faculty in educational technology, educational or cognitive psychology, learning theory, teacher education, curriculum and instruction, computer science, instructional systems, and learning sciences.Table of Contents Dedication Acknowledgements Introduction Part I: Pedagogical Practices For Developing And Assessing Pre-Service Teachers' Knowledge Of Computer Science Part II: Course Design Models For Preparing Preservice Teachers To Teach Computer Science Part III: University And State Policies For Preparing Pre-Service Teachers To Teach Computer Science Author/Editor Biographies

John Wiley & Sons Inc Keyboarding Skills for Children with Disabilities
Book SynopsisChildren who have difficulty with handling a pen or pencil or who have problems with organising movements at a cerebral level are at a great disadvantage in school no matter what their intellectual and academic levels may be. Personal computers and electronic keyboards can revolutionise the lives of children with these types of difficulties enabling them to perform in the classroom with their peers. However, since such equipment is costly, it is essential that an accurate assessment is made of the child's needs and abilities to ensure that appropriate equipment is chosen. It is equally important when teaching keyboarding skills to select methods and techniques which are appropriate to each child's strengths and weaknesses.Table of ContentsIntroduction. Children who will benefit from learning keyboarding skills. Assessing the need for learning keyboarding skills. Choosing the most suitable equipment. Methods of teaching keyboarding skills.
