This book argues for dynamic and relevant school experiences for
primary and early secondary learners that embed digital media
production. It proposes a vision of literacy that combines new
technologies with multiple modes of meaning-making. Drawing on
theories related to cultural studies, media literacy, anthropology,
and creativity, the author explores learning strategies with
digital media based on an empowering, values-driven framework. The
book advances innovative teaching methods, critiquing educational
'reforms' that marginalise media and fail to engage with the
complex tensions and textures of modern pedagogy. Positioning film
and media-making as vital practices in schools that nurture the
skills, dispositions and competencies of modern literacy, the model
foregrounds connections between human agency, cognition, and
creative practice. This innovative book will appeal to students and
scholars of creativity, digital media production, primary education
and literacy.

"Egoless Elders captures both the character God desires for His
servants as well as the journey He requires for their spiritual
maturity, vividly painting a picture in a most understandable
manner to a culture addicted to self, even within the church of the
Lord Jesus Christ." -Robert Doleshal, senior pastor of Desert View
Baptist Church, Gilbert, Arizona
How to Cultivate Church Leaders to Handle Church Conflicts If
those involved in church conflict read Egoless Elders, they will
realize why church leadership becomes dysfunctional; learn how to
sustain fellowship with God and team members; actively participate
in restoring functional harmony to the church; pray effectively in
faith for problems in the church.
Because Egoless Elders will differentiate between natural and
spiritual styles of leadership and distinguish legalistic
techniques from gracious treatment; outline simple steps for
self-examination and peer accountability so leaders can get
together and get along; generate specific situations so leaders can
examine themselves before the Lord and evaluate their effectiveness
while working with one another; help leaders participate in
peaceful, joyful meetings that restore hope through effective and
fervent prayer.

This powerful story is a tale of the gritty, hard working North
East of England, in the first years of the twentieth century, when
life had never been harder. Set among the dockers and workers of
the close-knit Irish community, this is a novel of hard times and
violence, but also of the powerful bonds of family and a strong
Catholic faith that can unite the group against a rough and hostile
world. Using the theme of Tom Casey, who is imprisoned for a rape
he did not commit, and a campaigning young solicitor determined to
see him freed, this is a panoramic picture of a tough, warm hearted
and sometimes brutal world of the past that is today but a distant
memory - but one that should never be forgotten.
Boom or bust? What was the truth of the great land booms that swept
Australia in the 1880s and 1890s? How was it that some speculators
amassed prodigious fortunes, while others went so spectacularly
broke? Seventy years after the events, historian Michael Cannon
began sifting through thousands of records and documents, long
since filed and forgotten. He pieced together an incredible trail
of corruption and roguery, rarely if ever equalled in any
parliamentary democracy. When the bare bones of this expose were
first published in 1966, it caused an immediate sensation as the
forebears of many well-known families were involved. Never before
had any Australian historian been able to document such unbridled
greed and over-riding ambition. Extended and revised, The Land
Boomers is generously illustrated with cartoons, photographs and
etchings of the time, and includes an introduction by the author on
how he came to research and write the book.
At the turn of the last century, in the north of England, a family
struggles to survive. It could be the story of any number of real
people, and indeed, it just may be... Da' has gone to India with
the Army, leaving Ma to fend for the children. Jim is a good strong
lad, but gets into trouble; Katie works in the big house, where the
master ruthlessly takes advantage of her youthful beauty; and poor
young Mick contracts tuberculosis. The family must face and conquer
these trials, and there is one thing that helps to strengthen their
tortured hearts in these, their darkest hours - their love and
kinship, and their faith. A gritty, yet life-affirming tale of the
triumph of the human spirit and kindness over grinding poverty and
seemingly insurmountable odds.
