Selecting Instructional Materials by National Research Council,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Board on Science Education,Committee on Developing the Capacity to Select Effective Instructional Materials Pdf

The National Science Education Standards set broad content goals for teaching grades K-12. For science teaching programs to achieve these goalsâ€"indeed, for science teaching to be most effectiveâ€"teachers and students need textbooks, lab kits, videos, and other materials that are clear, accurate, and help students achieve the goals set by the standards. Selecting Instructional Materials provides a rigorously field-tested procedure to help education decisionmakers evaluate and choose materials for the science classroom. The recommended procedure is unique, adaptable to local needs, and realistic given the time and money limitations typical to school districts. This volume includes a guide outlining the entire process for school district facilitators, and provides review instruments for each step. It critically reviews the current selection process for science teaching materialsâ€"in the 20 states where the state board of education sets forth a recommended list and in the 30 states where materials are selected entirely by local decisionmakers. Selecting Instructional Materials explores how purchasing decisions are influenced by parent attitudes, political considerations, and the marketing skills of those who produce and sell science teaching materials. It will be indispensable to state and local education decisionmakers, science program administrators and teachers, and science education advocates.

The Prospect of Internet Democracy by Michael Margolis,Gerson Moreno-Riaño Pdf

The internet opens up new opportunities for citizens to organize and mobilize for action but it also provides new channels that established political, social and economic interests can use to extend their powers. Will the internet revolutionize politics? The Prospect of Internet Democracy is a rich and detailed exploration of the theoretical implications of the internet and related information and communication technologies (ICTs) for democratic theory. Focusing in particular on how political uses of the internet have affected or seem likely to affect patterns of influence among citizens, interest groups and political institutions, the authors examine whether the internet's impact on democratic politics is destined to repeat the history of other innovative ICTs. The volume explores the likely long-term effects of such uses on the conduct of politics in the USA and other nations that declare themselves modern democracies and assesses the extent to which they help or hinder viable democratic governance.

The Oxford Handbook of Internet Studies by William H. Dutton Pdf

Internet Studies has been one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding interdisciplinary fields to emerge over the last decade. The Oxford Handbook of Internet Studies has been designed to provide a valuable resource for academics and students in this area, bringing together leading scholarly perspectives on how the Internet has been studied and how the research agenda should be pursued in the future. The Handbook aims to focus on Internet Studies as an emerging field, each chapter seeking to provide a synthesis and critical assessment of the research in a particular area. Topics covered include social perspectives on the technology of the Internet, its role in everyday life and work, implications for communication, power, and influence, and the governance and regulation of the Internet. The Handbook is a landmark in this new interdisciplinary field, not only helping to strengthen research on the key questions, but also shape research, policy, and practice across many disciplines that are finding the Internet and its political, economic, cultural, and other societal implications increasingly central to their own key areas of inquiry.

How can teachers and librarians successfully incorporate the Internet into their school's curricula? Valauskas, 'Library Journal's' monthly computer book review columnist and also a columnist for the magazines 'Online' and 'Database, ' and Ertel, Director of Knowledge Systems for Apple Computer and founder of the Apple Library Users Group, compiled this guide to show how actual, successful Internet programs have been used in elementary, middle, and high schools to teach math, science, history, literature, music, and more. Included are such examples as classes in which students download French periodicals on the Net to practice language skills; look at weather data from a Gopher server, use the data to make a map and a weather forecast, and return to the Net to check their accuracy; and access promising Gopher files on genetics for classroom debates on the merits of genetic engineering. Program descriptions are written by the faculty members and/or school library media specialists involved. Each example contains goals and results; budget, technical, and curricular information; plus photos and illustrations. A discussion of te internet's future educational prospects, a bibliography of books and articles about the Net's educational applications, a listing of the best sites for curricular integration, and an index round out this innovative resource.
