The subject of the use of social media has renewed interest because
of the impact that it had on the last U.S. presidential election
and the impact that social media networks will have on subsequent
elections. As guides in the information world, it is thus important
that librarians be well versed in social media. This has called
attention to the relevance and urgency of incorporating social
media use into the academic library, both as a marketing tool and
as an instruction tool. Social Media for Communication and
Instruction in Academic Libraries is an essential reference source
that offers guidance in using social media in academic libraries
and in instruction with a special emphasis on assessment and
evidence-based practice. Featuring research on topics such as
digital libraries, marketing, and web analytics, this book is
ideally designed for librarians, administrators, educators,
managers, information technology specialists, professionals,
researchers, and students.
This book explores how the increasing need for specific kinds of
parental engagement impacts care-experienced young peoples'
trajectories. Previous Australian studies have found that
care-experienced young people demonstrate poorer outcomes in
health, education, and the criminal justice system throughout their
life course. However, this multi-layered case study is the first to
specifically address barriers in obtaining higher education—an
effective tool for social mobility. In particular, the authors
unpack how university marketing relies on young people to have a
parent who understands tertiary education transitions to help them
navigate post-school pathways to careers or higher education, as
well as how policies might fail to help students who do not have
such a figure in their lives. The authors offer suggestions for
policy change in Australia while providing a basis for global
comparisons and recommendations for how care-experienced young
people and their support networks can overcome present challenges.
This book explores new and distinctive forms of higher vocational
education across the globe, and asks how the sector is changing in
response to the demands of the 21st century. These new forms of
education respond to two key policy concerns: an emphasis on high
skills as a means to achieve economic competitiveness, and the
promise of open access for adults hitherto excluded from higher
education. Examining a range of geographic contexts, the editors
and contributors aim to address these contexts and highlight
various similarities and differences in developments. They locate
their analyses within the various political and socio-economic
contexts, which can make particular reforms possible and achievable
in one context and almost unthinkable in another. Ultimately, the
book promotes a critical understanding of evolving provisions of
higher vocational education, refusing assumptions that policy
borrowing from apparently 'successful' countries offers a
straightforward model for others to adopt.
A text that aims to provide teachers with the skills required to
deliver a curriculum in Physical Education which enables children

assessing core movement skills; observing children within class
lessions in order to match tasks to learners' needs; breaking down
skills so that tasks are made accessible to all children; how to
deliver differentiated tasks to children with different needs; and
practical ideas to be used with individuals, groups and classes of
children.

"I tell you, boy, you take. But then...it take you. More and
more...you want it until you are dead but cannot die." Old Nancy's
words are prophetic but Josh, popular and happy, becomes a victim
of his active imagination. When he finds a cat's skull belonging to
the strange pagan woman who feeds wild cats on a vacant lot, Josh
assumes that it is powerful magic. He keeps it, thinking that it
will help him to deal with Kevin, a sinister bully who has joined
his class. The skull seems to act like a curse when Kevin steals it
and gains mastery over Josh's friends. They beat him up on a lonely
path beside a railway. Unless Josh can find a solution to his
problem, there may be worse to come. "The Skull" is a story of
self-discovery by a child of eleven on the brink of maturity. The
pagan superstition in the book, combined with conflict between Josh
and the psychopathic Kevin, resembles award winning author David
Almond's "Clay." A similar theme of bullying appears in Anne Fine's
"The Tulip Touch" pagan magic features in Theresa Breslin's
"Whispers in the Graveyard" and Harriet Goodwin's "The Hex Factor."
