review 1: I have not been so geeked up after reading an educator book in quite a while. I've been a longtime fan of "learning to learn" over "teaching to the test", and this missive is all about student engagement, effective research skills in the digital age, and other issues that resonate with me. Alan November (fab name for a teacher) articulates why it's the way to go for 21st century schools, and has great concrete examples of how to involve students in creating content and becoming responsible for their own learning.The five starts is for the content, not the writing, which tends to be repetitive. This style is found in many of these types of books for teachers, librarians, and other educator types. I forgive it.
review 2: A book that opened my eyes to the importa... morence of global learning to help our students learn to collaborate, communicate, and creatve for a purpose and with a larger audience. Reading this book and sharing my thoughts online (via my blog and #cyberPD), I practiced exactly what November is encouraging of forward-thinking teachers. Now, it's about small steps and incorporating what I can in my resource classroom and sharing my learning with colleagues. less
