Building Kids' Citizenship Through Community Engagement offers a compelling, empirically-based argument for giving young people opportunities to grow through productive involvement with their local community. Drawing on John Dewey's pragmatic frame of experience and concepts of bildung that inform educational practice in Europe, the book speaks directly to teachers and parents who are looking for a way to support young people in their efforts to become confident, self-directed citizens. Throughout, the book offers a paradigm for growth that counters the limits of narrow visions of schooling and equally thin out-of-school learning opportunities which serve to limit young people's potential. In framing the argument, veteran educator Bob Coulter draws on more than 30 years of experience that includes extensive work with youth as a classroom teacher and in a variety of other community-based efforts, as well as 18 years of work as a mentor to teachers and parents. Key themes running through Building Kids' Citizenship Through Community Engagement include a cogent argument in support of young people assuming an active, age-appropriate role as citizens, as well as a modern updating of Dewey's concept of experience that is suitable for a technological age. These theoretical ideas are made tangible through specific recommendations for productive uses of digital technology and a critical review of several frameworks that have proven useful for designing and evaluating the quality of kids' community-based learning experiences.

The book of Revelation is one of the most intriguing books ever written. It contains many strange imageries. Unfortunately, most writers have given a literal interpretation to these imageries, causing much confusion. Instead of making the book more understandable, for multitudes of people writers have made the book more frightening. Consequently, the overwhelming majority of people don't believe we will ever understand the original intended message of the book of Revelation. This is unfortunate because God WANTS us to understand His message. That is why it exists. Revelation 1:1 says 'God sent and signified'. The greek word for signified (semaino) literally means 'to cause to be specific and clear'. God has something to say to us and He WANTS His message to be specific and clear. This book will accomplish that for you.We use imageries every day, expressions like 'thrown under the bus', 'step up to the plate', or 'smoking gun'. Imagine the confusion that would result if we tried to literalize these expressions in our conversations. The context of our conversation helps us to rightly apply these expressions. That is why this book will help you to understand the book of Revelation. This book begins by scripturally identifying the context of the book, then progresses forward to scripturally unravel the metaphoric meanings of the symbolic imageries. The result is a practical, understandable, relevant message from God pertaining to our day.This book deals specifically with the book sealed with seven seals. It will help you to understand what the seven-sealed book is and what God has to say to us through each seal, again both 'specifically and clearly', more specific and clear than you ever imagined. This book is going to help you to understand more of the book of Revelation than you ever thought possible. I guarantee it
"Network Science, A Decade Later"--the result of NSF-funded
research that looked at the experiences of a set of science
projects which use the Internet--offers an understanding of how the
Internet can be used effectively by science teachers and students
to support inquiry-based teaching and learning. The book emphasizes
theoretical and critical perspectives and is intended to raise
questions about the goals of education and the ways that technology
helps reach those goals and ways that it cannot. The theoretical
perspective of inquiry-based teaching and learning in which the
book is grounded is consistent with the current discipline-based
curriculum standards and frameworks.
