Taylor & Francis Inc Symbolizing and Communicating in Mathematics Classrooms Perspectives on Discourse Tools and Instructional Design
Book SynopsisThis volume grew out of a symposium on discourse, tools, and instructional design at Vanderbilt University in 1995 that brought together a small international group to grapple with issues of communicating, symbolizing, modeling, and mathematizing, particularly as these issues relate to learning in the classroom. The participants invited to develop chapters for this book--all internationally recognized scholars in their respective fields--were selected to represent a wide range of theoretical perspectives including mathematics education, cognitive science, sociocultural theory, and discourse theory. The work is distinguished by the caliber of the contributors, the significance of the topics addressed in the current era of reform in mathematics education, and the diversity of perspectives taken to a common set of themes and issues. The book is intended for those who are seeking to expand their understanding of the complexity of learning in order to enhance the learning experiencTrade Review"All the articles taken together add up to a strong argument in favor of making symbolizing and communicating prominent features in mathematics classrooms. Arguments are well illustrated....A good resource for teacher educators and graduate students who are interested in the interrelationship between semiotic theories and mathematical understanding."—CHOICE"...offers literacy educators another way to view mathematics....ways to think about literacy in mathematics classrooms....[and] provides literacy researchers insights into the kind of questions that are important to mathematics education researchers, which can be helpful as literacy educators work to consider problems and questions that cross educational domains....This book ultimately offers to literacy educators an insight into terms like symbolizing, modeling, mathematizing, and representation as used by mathematics educators. By understanding these terms and considering the implications for instructional design, literacy educators can begin building bridges between themselves and mathematics educators."—Journal of Literacy ResearchTable of ContentsContents: E.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Artificial Intelligence and Learning Futures
Book SynopsisArtificial Intelligence and Learning Futures: Critical Narratives of Technology and Imagination in Higher Education explores the implications of artificial intelligence's adoption in higher education and the challenges to building sustainable instead of dystopic schooling. As AI becomes integral to both pedagogy and profitability in today's colleges and universities, a critical discourse on these systems and algorithms is urgently needed to push back against their potential to enable surveillance, control, and oppression. This book examines the development, risks, and opportunities inherent to AI in education and curriculum design, the problematic ideological assumptions of intelligence and technology, and the evidence base and ethical imagination required to responsibly implement these learning technologies in a way that ensures quality and sustainability. Leaders, administrators, and faculty as well as technologists and designers will find these provocative and accesTable of ContentsIntroduction Section 1: Education, Artificial Intelligence and Ideology 1.

This book gives voice to worldwide perspectives on education post-COVID from Early Years teachers in the Caribbean to menopausal women in the UK. It gives a fascinating perspective on both the challenges and positive impacts of COVID-19. The ‘call for action’ is a passionate challenge to re-think what it is to be a teacher, to nurture the autonomy of teachers and work together to support and care for each other. It has to be one of the most powerful books I have read in a long while and is likely to remain next to my desk to share and revisit repeatedly."Jo Tregenza, Reader in Education at University of Sussex and Vice President of the United Kingdom Literacy Association"This is an important book. It explores the intersection between the professional and personal lives of teachers and academics and the focus on teachers' family life opens up big questions about the future of education globally, especially for the majority of the workforce who are women. Women educators and leaders work in an inequitable and inflexible system. Their voices are clearly expressed throughout the chapters and we need to hear them as it is clear the status quo is no longer adequate for women. This book will help to recalibrate the future of educational practice and it can't come soon enough for most of the education workforce."Vivienne Porritt OBE, co-founder and Strategic Leader of #WomenEd, author, and Vice President of the Chartered College of TeachingTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Wild and Free Nature
Book SynopsisThe companion to The Call of the Wild + Free: styled in the lush aesthetic of the Wild + Free brand, a four-color book offering outdoor activities and essays, that parents, educators, and caregivers can use to inspire their children.Wild and Free Nature is a beautiful, four-color resource book for parents, educators, and caregivers to enjoy doing hands-on activities outside with kids. One of the core philosophies behind Wild + Free is the belief that nature is the best classroom we could ever hope for. It unlocks the imagination and inspires creativity in ways that a schoolroom never could.Being out in nature has a number of benefits. Studies show that children are more likely to interact with kids of different ages and learn to problem solve in natural settings. Being in natural settings stimulates the brain and restores cognitive function. Children who spend time in natural settings also interact better with kids of all ages and learn to solve problems more easily. They build muscle and coordination and fend off obesity. It cultivates a sense of responsibility for caring for the earth, not to mention, encourages imaginative play, curiosity, and other qualities necessary to spark a love for investigation and learning.This resource book will help equip parents and adults who work with children to get them outdoors with activities such as: Build a treehouse in the woods. Cultivate a garden plot. Make land art and nature crafts. Create a mud kitchen in the backyard. Go for a nature walk each morning. Find a secret swimming hole. Go to the creek to learn about the water cycle. Plant a garden to see what will grow in your backyard. Raise monarch caterpillars and feed them milkweed until they transform into butterflies. Set up a birdwatching station in your front window equipped with binoculars, notebooks, and bird guides. Make a wilderness fort with the fallen branches from trees. With the same lush photography as The Call of the Wild + Free, this book includes step-by-step pictures that show parents how to do the activity, and essays on the importance of nature in a child''s life.

MIT Press Ltd The Distributed Classroom Learning in LargeScale
Book SynopsisA vision of the future of education in which the classroom experience is distributed across space and time without compromising learning.What if there were a model for learning in which the classroom experience was distributed across space and time--and students could still have the benefits of the traditional classroom, even if they can't be present physically or learn synchronously? In this book, two experts in online learning envision a future in which education from kindergarten through graduate school need not be tethered to a single physical classroom. The distributed classroom would neither sacrifice students' social learning experience nor require massive development resources. It goes beyond hybrid learning, so ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic, and MOOCs, so trendy a few years ago, to reimagine the classroom itself. David Joyner and Charles Isbell, both of Georgia Tech, explain how recent developments, including distance learning and learning mana
