This practical guide outlines a vision for online and distance STEM
learning at the elementary level, with creative activities based on
eight STEM themes. Online and distance learning may sound fairly
straightforward. Instead of learning in a classroom setting,
students learn at home with the assistance of online resources. But
classroom learning does not always translate easily to online
settings, particularly at the elementary level where children
should be actively engaging in activities, exploration and
discussion. For STEM subjects, integration across subjects,
settings and play-based versus traditional learning present
opportunities for young learners to engage in age-appropriate
online and distance learning. This book features eight creative,
integrated STEM lessons, including ideas for designing a zoo,
learning to garden, exploring the night sky and more. Each lesson
offers online, traditional and hands-on components, with
connections to the ISTE Standards and STEM standards across
elementary grades. Each of the eight lessons includes: An overview
of materials, resources, time and supervision needed. Suggested
resources to explore, such as simulations and virtual field trips.
Supplementary learning materials such as questions and quizzes.
Ideas for games and reinforcement. Hands-on activities and
engineering design challenges. Connections to various content areas
as well as children's books, movies and art to keep the learning
going after the lesson is completed. Concluding with a model for
designing online and distance STEM learning for elementary-aged
children, this book will support teachers and parents in designing
the types of resources and learning experiences they need for
elementary students' distance learning.
Stopping Oil dives into the story of how deep-sea oil exploration
became politicised in Aotearoa New Zealand, how community groups
mobilised against it and the backlash that followed. It is also a
story of activists exercising an ethic of care and responsibility,
and how that solidarity was masked and silenced by the neoliberal
state. As Aotearoa New Zealand began to pursue deep-sea oil as part
of its development agenda, a powerful climate justice campaign
emerged, comprising of a range of autonomous 'Oil Free' groups
around the country, NGOs like Greenpeace, and iwi and hapu (Maori
tribal groups). As their influence increased, the state employed
different tactics to silence them, starting with media
representations designed to delegitimise, followed by
securitisation and surveillance that controlled their activities,
and finally targeted state-sanctioned violence and dehumanisation.
By highlighting geographies of hope for radical progressive change,
the authors focus on the many examples of the campaign where
solidarity and political responsibility shone through the
repression, leading us towards a brighter future for climate
justice across the globe.

Instead of drill-and-practice apps and worksheets, what if
technology enabled exploration of math concepts? Instead of screens
for disconnected individual learning, what if technology fostered
mathematical discourse and collaboration? Instead of a
one-size-fits-all approach to teaching mathematics, what if we used
technology to differentiate to meet students' diverse needs?
Technology has the power and potential to support the teaching and
learning of math content at all grade levels, but the presence of
technology is insufficient unless it's paired with effective
teaching practices and meaningful content. This book poses and
unpacks the above questions and many more, with detailed classroom
examples to illustrate practical strategies for integrating
technology in the K-5 math classroom, highlighting opportunities to
amplify and transform mathematics teaching through strategic
technology use.

An understanding of Child Development is necessary for early
childhood students as it underpins all early year's practice and
curricula. This book provides students with an in-depth
understanding of the research, theory and current practice,
supporting them through a complex area. Offering a fresh take, this
book examines child development through a range of disciplines
including psychology, education, sociology, anthropology and
philosophy. Chapters are structured to support readers in
understanding complex theory, with key features such as case
studies which put theory into practice, reflective questions to
encourage critical thinking, chapter summaries, further reading,
and more. Amanda Thomas is Senior Lecturer in Education at
University of South Wales. Alyson Lewis is Lecturer in Education
Development at Cardiff University.
