Meeting Common Core Technology Standards

Strategies for Grades 3-5

By: Valerie Morrison,Stephanie Novak,Tim Vanderwerff

Have you ever wished you had an instructional coach at your side to help align your curriculum with the tech-related indicators found in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)? You’re not alone. Nearly all U.S. states have adopted the Common Core, and teachers across the country are redesigning their lessons to meet the standards, including the ed tech component. In this book, you’ll learn how to shift your educational practice and integrate technology standards found within the Common Core into your curriculum. The authors clearly explain the standards and demonstrate how to incorporate them through classroom-tested examples that harness a robust list of student-friendly software, websites and apps.

Infusing Technology in the 6-12 Classroom

A Guide to Meeting Today’s Academic Standards

By: Valerie Morrison,Stephanie Novak,Tim Vanderwerff

6-12 teachers will discover how to integrate the tech requirements found within today’s academic standards into their everyday curriculum. Perhaps your district provides current technology development for staff on a regular basis and has instructional coaches to help teachers infuse technology into their curriculum to meet various academic standards. But in reality, most districts don’t have this kind of support. In this book (the second in a two-book series), you’ll learn how to shift your instructional practice and leverage technology to meet today’s curriculum education standards for grades 6-12. This book doesn’t cover every 6-12 national standard, but identifies the standards with a technology component and provides resources and lessons to help you teach those standards effectively. This book includes: • Classroom-tested lesson ideas in English language arts, math, science and social studies mapped to ISTE and tech-related standards to support college- and career-readiness. • Lists of technology-embedded college- and career-readiness standards for each grade level, along with practical ideas and up-to-date resources (apps, software and websites) that can be used in meeting these standards. • Suggestions for addressing roadblocks to incorporating technology in the classroom. • Ways to incorporate staff development and parental support at the school level. • Access to a companion website with information on the tools referenced in the text. With the implementation of these strategies, you’ll help your students become self-directed and critical readers, writers and thinkers so they’re better prepared for the future!

Not All Supermen

Sexism, Toxic Masculinity, and the Complex History of Superheroes

By: Tim Hanley

An eye-opening exploration of the toxic masculinity and sexism that pervades the superhero genre. Superheroes have been exciting and inspirational cultural icons for decades, dating back to the debut of Superman in the 1930s. The earliest tales have been held up as cornerstones of the genre, looked upon with nostalgic reverence. However, enshrining these tales also enshrines many outdated values that have allowed sexist gender dynamics to thrive. In Not All Supermen: Sexism, Toxic Masculinity, and the Complex History of Superheroes, Tim Hanley examines how anger, aggression, and violence became the norm in superhero comics, paired with a disdain for women that the industry has yet to fully move beyond. The sporadic addition of new female heroes over the years proved largely ineffective, the characters often underused and objectified. Hanley also reveals how the genre’s sexism has had real-world implications, with many creators being outed as sexual harassers and bigots, while intolerant fan movements are awash with misogynistic hate speech. Superheroes can be a force for good, representing truth, justice, and courage, but the industry is laden with excessive baggage. The future of the genre depends on what elements of its past are celebrated and what is left behind. Not All Supermen unravels this complex history and shows how superheroes can become more relevant and inspiring for everyone.

Urban Playground

How Child-Friendly Planning and Design Can Save Cities

By: Tim Gill

What type of cities do we want our children to grow up in? Car-dominated, noisy, polluted and devoid of nature? Or walkable, welcoming, and green? As the climate crisis and urbanisation escalate, cities urgently need to become more inclusive and sustainable. This book reveals how seeing cities through the eyes of children strengthens the case for planning and transportation policies that work for people of all ages, and for the planet. It shows how urban designers and city planners can incorporate child friendly insights and ideas into their masterplans, public spaces and streetscapes. Healthier children mean happier families, stronger communities, greener neighbourhoods, and an economy focused on the long-term. Make cities better for everyone.

Treatment of Cancer Fifth Edition

By: Pat Price,Karol Sikora,Tim Illidge

Since the first edition was published in 1982, Treatment of Cancer has become a standard text for postgraduate physicians in the UK and beyond, providing all information necessary for modern cancer management in one comprehensive but accessible volume. By inviting experts from a number of disciplines to share their knowledge, the editors have succeeded in delivering a truly integrated approach to the care of the patient with cancer. This fifth edition adopts the successful structure of previous editions, whilst being thoroughly revised and updated, and with several completely new chapters, covering important topics such as drug development, cancer prevention, and economics of cancer care, as well as treatments such as radioimmunotherapy, biological therapies and antibody therapy. Part One considers the scientific basis and fundamental principles underlying cancer treatment and examines the likely developments that will occur over the next decade at the leading edge of oncology. Part Two is divided into two sections; the first covering general issues of cancer management, including planning techniques, concomitent chemoradiotherapy, surgical oncology and palliative care; and the second using a system-based approach to cover the clinical aspects and management plans for the whole spectrum of malignant disease. Treatment of Cancer surpasses other oncology texts in condensing the essential information for exemplary cancer care into one readable and accessible guide, and will be an invaluable addition to the bookshelves of the busy oncologist in training or in practice.
