Paperback Williamson Publishing Company

From School Library Journal Gr 5-7-A lively guide that teaches how to investigate history while it explores and explains various theories about the discovery of America. Short sound bites of information are grouped in loosely organized chapters that illuminate 10 theories about the "discovery" of America, e.g., the Land-Bridge Theory, the Multiple-Migration Theory, the Woden-lithi Theory, etc. But hard facts are only half the story here. Interspersed are a hodgepodge of ideas, suggestions, and projects that invite readers to think, question, search, and uncover the truth for themselves. Exercises and activities cover general topics-friendly versus unfriendly ways to disagree, the place of "wild" ideas in research-as well as specific ones-making maps, plaster-casting footprints, and more. Hart and Mantell often remind students of the importance of remaining fair and open-minded. Ultimately, they leave it up to readers to use the techniques in the book to decide which of the theories seems most likely to be true "for now." A final reminder notes that the question of who really discovered America will remain open in the future since "new information is always being uncovered." The volume has a workbook look with oversized pages bordered in black and gray designs and illustrations consisting of black-and-white cartoons, sketches, maps, and photographs. A useful and thought-provoking tool. Susan L. Rogers, Chestnut Hill Academy, PA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.

Paperback Chicago Review Press

From School Library Journal Grade 3-6-This unique book brings to life the days of the Old West. Crafts, recipes, songs, and games teamed with an engaging text will have young readers convinced that they're just having fun. The book is organized by the major waves of western movement, from the early explorers in 1804 to the trail drives of the 1880s. Carlson's clear and concise writing includes amusing stories and bits of trivia that will keep kids interested. Each chapter is packed with projects that will give them a taste of daily life. Students might construct field books like those used by Lewis and Clark, or they might make root beer like the settlers. Each activity includes easy-to-follow instructions and informative line drawings. A book that will be heavily used by teachers in the classroom and by children at home. Paula A. Kiely, Milwaukee Public Library, Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Gr. 4^-6. Carlson gives a brief history of the North American westward movement as a framework for introducing more than 50 appropriate activities, which are presented chronologically and thematically and include projects involving exploration, fur trading, the gold rush, homesteading, and cowboys. Activities range from the very simple (making notepaper decorated with an Appaloosa motif) to the complex (hooking a rag rug); most have very clear directions. A few ideas (panning for gold) will be impractical for most readers; some (Lewis and Clark's journal and field book, a trapper's journal, and a young girl's travel diary) are repetitive; but most (especially the recipes for portable soup and root beer and the explanations of measuring land for townships and homesteads) will be of interest. Black line drawings and frequent sidebars help break up the text and further clarify the instructions. Although not a first choice, this will be useful for American history studies. Kay Weisman

Product Description Affordable, readable, and indispensable,The United States Constitution: What it Says, What it Means allows you to put the most important document in American history in your back pocket. In conjunction with Justice Learning and The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands and with an introduction written by Caroline Kennedy and an afterword written by David Eisenhower, this pocket guide appeals to the broadest possible audience. Each Article and each Amendment is followed by a clear and concise explanation, in plain English, that is suitable for both middle and high school students. On December 8, 2004 President Bush officially signed Constitution Day into law. The law mandates that each year, on September 17th, schools and colleges that receive federal money are required to teach the Constitution. The new law was championed in Congress by Sen. Robert Byrd who famously carries around a copy of the document in his pocket. Sen. Byrd became increasingly alarmed at the lack of civics education-specifically relating to the Constitution-in our public schools and he wanted to take action. Lightweight, easy to use and easy for everyone to understand The United States Constitution: What it Says, What it Means is an excellent way for students and citizens of all ages to read and completely comprehend the building block of American democracy. Justice Learning (www.justicelearning.org), is a comprehensive on-line resource that offers wide-ranging non-partisan materials relating to civics education.

Paperback Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development

Book Description During the technology boom of the 1980s and 1990s, computers seemed set to revolutionize education. Do any of these promises sound familiar? -Technology would help all students learn better, thanks to multimedia programs capable of adapting to individual needs, learning styles, and skill levels. -Technology would transform the teacher's role from a purveyor of a one-size-fits-all curriculum to a facilitator of student exploration. -Technology would replace static textbooks with dynamic, interactive learning resources that were always up-to-date. -Technology would boost test scores, as engaged and motivated students acquired advanced skills, problem-solving abilities, and a growing thirst for knowledge. By 2001, educational materials developer William D. Pflaum had begun to suspect that technology was not the all-purpose solution it had seemed. He decided to see how computers were really being used in U.S. classrooms and embarked on a yearlong road trip to a cross-section of elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the nation. In this book, he recounts his journey. Although he did find technology application to admire, too often he found broken promises: millions spent for little measurable gain, problems instead of solutions, a fix instead of a fix. This inside look at computer use in our schools shares the voices, experiences, triumphs, and frustrations of educators and students in urban, rural, and suburban settings. The author provides insight into the key roles that computers currently play in the classroom and clarifies what we must do ensure that the promise of technology is fulfilled . . . and that students truly benefit.

Midwest Book Review From petroglyphs to modern Native American art, decorative designs have played an important role in expressing the ideas and beliefs of those who have made the American Southwest their home for thousands of years. The prehistoric Hohokam and Mimbres people used design motifs in rock art and pottery while the present day Hopi and Navajo use them in the arts and crafts of today. While many of the symbols and patterns found on pottery, basketry, rugs and jewelry have histories and meanings assigned to them, many do not. Southwest Indian Designs answers some of the more commonly asked questions and provides valuable insights into those designs that do not have specific meanings. Included are symbols and explanations of Zuni, Navajo, Hopi, Tewa, Acoma, Pueblo, Mimbres, and Hohokam designs. Mark Bahti has re-created close to 200 symbols and their variations making this an inexpensive, yet invaluable guide to those interested in the art, history and culture of the Native Americans of the Southwest. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Book Description Explains more than 200 of the most frequently used Southwestern Indian designs, including those from the Zuni, Navajo, Hopi, Tewa, Acoma, Pueblo and Hohokam peoples. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Paperback Association for Supervision & Curriculum Deve

From Library Journal Thornburg, an emerging-technologies futurist, takes a critical look at education in the United States and how children are taught in a system designed to prepare them for an industrial-era economy rather than our present "knowledge-value era." Drawing on his experience and knowledge to examine trends and make informed assumptions about what the future workplace will be, he asserts that students must be prepared for the new era, in which product value is based more on intellectual content than material and where workers are not interchangeable components on a production line but instead contribute to production through their creativity and knowledge. Workers will continue the trend of operating like consultants and will need to upgrade their knowledge and skills through lifelong learning to support their nomadic lifestyle. The final chapter offers practical strategies for garnering community support for curriculum change and effecting change within schools. Parents, administrators, teachers, policymakers, and anyone interested in education will find this book engaging and useful. Recommended for school, public, and academic libraries. Mark Alan Williams, Web Lib. & Document Storage Svcs., Hines VA Hosp., Chicago Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. Book Description The increasing globalization of work--coupled with rapid advancements in communications technology--is making age-old teaching methods irrelevant. To thrive in the plugged-in future workplace, students today need to learn a whole new set of fundamental skills. According to David Thornburg, we are on the cusp of a completely new era. The conventions of interoffice hierarchies, deskbound workers, and long-term employment contracts will quickly give way to a "telematic" model of work, in which workers are free to hop from client to client and country to country at the speed of a DSL connection. Today's curriculum is predicated on yesterday's realities, and must be reexamined to better reflect the digital age. This book explores The foundations of the future economy, The characteristics needed to succeed in the emerging world, and The changes we need to make in education to ensure that all students leave school prepared to face the challenges of a redefined world. The New Basics: Education and the Future of Work in the Telematic Age provides an in-depth discussion of the skills necessary for professional success in the coming years, along with strategies on how best to teach them in the classroom. Filled to capacity with visionary observations, practical suggestions for innovative instruction, and engaging discussions of the historical precedents for remodeled curriculum, this book is essential for those seeking to address the pressing issues of the new millennium.

Levine and Margaret Levine Young guide you to all the best download sites and reveal all the clever new features of Netscape Navigator, Eudora, and other essential Internet software. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. About the Author John R. Levine was a member of a computer club before high school students, or even high schools, had computers. He wrote his first program in 1967 on an IBM 1130 (a computer almost as fast as your modern digital wristwatch, only more difficult to use). He became an official system administrator of a networked computer at Yale in 1975 and has been working in the computer and network biz since 1977. He got his company on to Usenet (see Part IV) early enough that it appears in a 1982 Byte magazine article in a map of Usenet, which then was so small that the map fit on half a page. He used to spend most of his time writing software, although now he mostly writes books (including UNIXİ For Dummiesİ, 4th Edition, and Internet Secretsİ, both from IDG Books Worldwide, Inc.) because it's more fun and he can do so at home in the hamlet of Trumansburg, New York, where he holds the exalted rank of sewer commissioner and offers free samples to visitors and plays with his baby daughter when he's supposed to be writing. He also does a fair amount of public speaking. () He holds a B.A. and a Ph.D. in computer science from Yale University, but please don't hold that against him.; Unlike her peers in that 40-something bracket, Margaret Levine Young was exposed to computers at an early age. In high school, she got into a computer club known as the R.E.S.I.S.T.O.R.S., a group of kids who spent Saturdays in a barn fooling around with three antiquated computers. She stayed in the field through college against her better judgment and despite her brother John's presence as a graduate student in the computer science department. Margy graduated from Yale and went on to become one of the first microcomputer managers in the early 1980s at Columbia Pictures, where she rode the elevator with big stars whose names she wouldn't dream of dropping here. <). She loves her husband, Jordan; her kids, Meg and Zac; gardening; chickens; reading; and anything to do with eating. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description Educators today want to go beyond how-to manuals and publications that merely celebrate the many exciting new technologies as they appear in schools. Students are immersed in an evolving world of new technology development in which they are not passive recipients of these technologies but active interpreters of them. How do you help learners interpret these technologies as we all become immersed in the new information age? Editor Bertram C. Bruce provides this collection of 32 Technology Departments from the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy covering the 1998 to 2002 volume years, which examines critical aspects of literacy in the new information age and the complex issues surrounding the use of new technologies. The pieces build on specific examples from classrooms, Web use, and other experiences with new digital information and communication environments. Bruce has grouped the chapters conceptually rather than chronologically into the following six sections: Historical Perspective, New Media Practices, Personal Meanings, Ethical and Policy Issues, Learning Opportunities, and Community. The book also addresses issues such as credibility, access, and privacy, and most centrally an understanding of what new media mean for teaching, learning, and literacy development. Educators feel the challenge of preparing students to live productively within this emerging world and deciding what learning experiences can best prepare students for becoming literate in today's world. This collection will provide the tools for you and your students to explore the way new literacies are evolving as they become ever more central in your lives.

Book Description This book is essential for K(8 teachers, curriculum consultants, and supervisors trying to meet their students' needs in the 21st century. Emphasizing that instruction should drive technology and not vice versa, the book presents examples of classroom technology to help teachers support literacy goals. Also included are lesson plans for use with one of more computers in the classroom. From the Back Cover Linking Literacy and Technology: A Guide for K-8 Classrooms recognizes that for teachers responsible for literacy instruction, advances in technology offer a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Based on the idea that instruction should drive technology, and not vice versa, this book shares ideas, options, and opportunities for using technology in the classroom. Vignettes and examples of classroom uses of technology are presented throughout the book to highlight concepts and help teachers support literacy goals. The contributors offer lesson plans that can be used with one or more computers in the classroom or in computer labs. Each lesson plan includes objectives, materials, activities, and assessments that teachers can adapt easily for use in their classrooms. Section 1 of the book addresses the questions of why instructional technology should be used to support literacy learning and how a teacher can begin to use it. Section 2 offers ideas for using instructional technology to support skill development, and content area learning. Section 3 explores ways in which instructional technology can be integrated in the literacy curriculum and offers strategies for meeting the challenges of integrating technology in the future. Underlying the uses for technology presented in the book is the authors' conviction that students need to be active seekers of knowledge and must construct for themselves the meaning of what they learn. Linking Literacy and Technology is an essential resource for reading teachers, preservice and inservice teachers, curriculum consultants, and curriculum supervisors whose goal is to use technology to help children develop and use literacy for content area learning in the K-8 classroom.

From School Library Journal Grade 5-10-An engaging overview of marine sciences. Each chapter explores a topic in two to four pages, then poses questions accompanied by lucid explanations. This immediate opportunity to use the facts just presented, and the step-by-step process of explication, reinforce the text in a user-friendly fashion. Suggested activities include a stated purpose, materials needed, and clearly delineated procedures. The results are described, and a discussion of why things happened further amplifies the material. For example, two chapters on ocean pollution provide excellent information along with representative activities demonstrating run off and the effect of oil on bird feathers. The narrative is easy to read and understand. Informal and sometimes humorous line drawings appear throughout. Although similar in scope to Seymour Simon's How to Be an Ocean Scientist in Your Own Home (HarperCollins, 1988), the arrangement of text, questions, activities, and explanations in Oceans for Every Kid is clearer and more inclusive. This book is not only highly informative, but also great fun.?Frances E. Millhouser, Chantilly Regional Library, VA Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal Grade 3-6-- An entertaining, educational, and nonthreatening aid to understanding earth science. The easy experiments are carefully organized in sections dealing with the Earth in space, rocks and minerals, crustal movement, erosion, atmosphere, weather, and the oceans. Each experiment includes a purpose, a list of needed materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and a scientific explanation of the results. Each double-page spread features a helpful black-line drawing of the procedure; cautions are given where any danger is possible and notes comment on desirable weather or other necessary conditions. Activities range from making a peanut butter sandwich to demonstrating a sedimentary rock formation, or erasing pencil marks on paper to showing how rocks change into sand and thin soil. The concepts are so elementary and the directions so clear that students can learn just by reading and visualizing them, although it will be much more fun to actually perform the experiments. --Rosie Peasley, Somerset School, Modesto, CA Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. Product Description How are mountains formed? What makes the air we breathe? What causes the ocean waves? Now you can learn the answers to these and other questions about the earth, sea, and air through 101 fun, safe, low-cost experiments and activities that can be performed at home or in the classroom. In Earth Science for Every Kid, you'll use a tennis ball and a marble to demonstrate a solar eclipse. You'll make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to understand sedimentary rock formation. And, with the assistance of a Slinky(r) and a helper, you'll learn about the motion of water waves. Each of the 101 experiments is broken down into its purpose, a list of materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and an easy to understand explanation.

From School Library Journal Grade 5-7-Twenty easy experiments that demonstrate how paleontologists construct hypotheses about dinosaurs using the fragmentary clues left by fossils. For example, by burying a scale model of Compsognathus in a bucket of sand, kids can calculate what the model weighs, and then deduce the weight of the actual animal. The text is illustrated with simple black-and-white diagrams and drawings. Some of the activities here have appeared in other collections, such as Jerry Booth's The Big Beast Book (Little, 1988). Unlike that book, however, this title's instructional tone makes it unappealing for children to read from cover to cover. Best used as a resource for science-fair experiments or classroom demonstrations. Cathryn A. Camper, Minneapolis Public Library Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Gr. 4-7. The latest in the Science for Every Kid Series tackles a well-traveled but always appealing subject--dinosaurs. In 20 informative chapters with activities, VanCleave explores the known and unknown about dinosaurs, including how fossils are formed, the meanings of dinosaur names, theories about dinosaur skin, and how a dinosaur's weight is determined. Each chapter begins with an introductory "What You Need to Know," which provides an overview needed in order to understand the accompanying questions and experiments. The author does a fine job of explaining some complex subjects and theories, though the discussion of radioactive decay and half-life seems unnecessarily complicated for the intended audience. Many of the projects require adult supervision and say so. Children's keen interest in dinosaurs and these thought-provoking experiments are sure ingredients for science fun.

From School Library Journal Grade 6 Up-A collection of 30 projects. Although some are novel, most are repeats or modifications of familiar demonstrations on such topics as acid-base reactions, food chemistry, and properties of water. As VanCleave states, these are "cookbook experiments"-procedures are clearly written, common household materials are used, and the expected results are described. A detailed and sometimes sophisticated explanation follows along with interesting facts and suggestions for additional investigation. A few experiments require simple mathematical calculations. Black-and-white line drawings aid in setting up the activities. Overall, the book does a fine job at what it does. However, while there are elements worth exploring in the suggested demonstrations, it is a poor model for science-fair projects because the answers are known before any experimentation is ever run. Alan Newman, American Chemical Society, Washington, DC Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. Product Description Janice VanCleave's A+ Projects in Chemistry Are you having a hard time coming up with a good idea for the science fair? Do you want to earn extra credit in your chemistry class? Or do you just want to know how the world really works? Janice VanCleave's A+ Projects in Chemistry can help you, and the best part is it won't involve any complicated or expensive equipment. This step-by-step guide explores 30 different topics and offers dozens of experiment ideas. The book also includes charts, diagrams, and illustrations. Here are just a few of the topics you'll be investigating: ?Acid/base reactions ? Polymers ? Crystals ? Electrolytes ? Denaturing proteins You'll be amazed at how easy it is to turn your ideas into winning science fair projects. Also available: Janice VanCleave's A+ Projects in Biology

Book Description Although administrators, parents, and teachers all want access to Internet information and services in K-12 schools, no one is sure how such access will serve teaching and learning goals. Design Tools for the Internet-Supported Classroom offers staff development professionals an important resource for helping educators create powerful, curriculum-based online activities. It's not enough for teachers to know how to use Internet tools like e-mail or search engines. Teachers who successfully use telecomputing technology instead focus on the instructional design of their activities, accommodating students' needs, preferences, and past experiences. Author Judi Harris draws on research and extensive online experience to demonstrate how teachers can best become designers for Internet projects. She offers 18 structures for successful telecomputing activities, an 8-step process for creating those activities, 5 purposes for students' teleresearch, and 10 types of Web pages teachers can use to support their projects. Have you ever considered who is likely to adopt an innovation first--or last? How can you work with those educators, and what types of staff development should you offer them? Harris answers these questions as well, providing numerous online resources and examples of successful, classroom-tested projects.

School Library Journal Reflection points and classroom vignettes provide insight and inspiration. Book Description Although most educators know they can use computers to successfully deliver reading instruction, many are grappling with how to incorporate computers into their classrooms in ways that best enhance students' literacy learning. This book will help you reflect on and gain insights into the complex nature of the teaching-learning process when computers are used to support students' literacy growth. Author Maureen Carroll shares her study of how one teacher and her elementary-grade students integrated computer-based literacy instruction into their curriculum. The chapters highlight the three major themes that emerged from the study-collaboration, exploration, and play-to help you understand the diverse ways in which computers both foster and hinder students' literacy development. You'll ultimately discover that technology's function should not be to replace the instruction that is already in place but to enhance it. Reflection Points and classroom vignettes will provoke thought and discussion about computer-based literacy instruction. Lessons, such as Internet Scavenger Hunt and Family Fun Night, also are offered to help you begin integrating computer use in your classroom. Use this book to imagine new instructional possibilities, undertake new classroom activities, and question your own teaching-learning process as you use computers to support your students' literacy growth.

From School Library Journal Grade 3-8-- Milord targets a wide range of experience and capabilties with this comprehensive effort that includes 101 craft ideas. Because of the difficulty of language and the assumption of prior knowledge, only middle-school and junior-high age crafters will be able to use it independently. Activities are easily accessible through the inclusive index. Parents and teachers will appreciate the "Tick Tock" feature; a time-frame page lists each adventure according to the hours needed for completion. When recipelike instructions appear on a single page with large simple illustrations, in three-column form, the information is easily digested. But too often the steps flow over to the next page and drown in the beginnings of another craft. Margin facts appear every now and then and are often more interesting than the core information. Organization is generally good, however, and those looking for project ideas will find this encyclopedic guide much like a new cookbook--filled with endless possibilities. --Fran Powell, George G. White School, Hillsdale, NJ Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. American Bookseller " ... this is one rainy-day book that will keep children hoping for more rain."
