How about books?

How about ebooks?

How about bringing a workshop and sharing your knowledge?


Here is a description from the book that I compiled:
This book was compiled to meet the needs of a workshop that took place in April 2013. The workshop is available online and in face-to-face sessions. How about contacting the author by Skuype? SteveEnglishTeacher or write to TheEbookman@gmail.com. This book should be measured by what the “students” (participants) create. You. You are the measure of this book. The participants of this workshop will create digital portfolios and projects that could bring the methods of Dennis Littky, Dennis Yuzenas, Enrique Gonzales, Elliot Washor, Eliot Levine, Matt Blazek, Katie Gimbar (“The Flipped Classroom”) and Mario Llorente into thousands of classrooms. The posters of Richard Clark, Barak Rosenshine, Dan Pink and others could spread because of you. The goals of this book are (1) to get the posters in this book on the walls of classrooms that lack the Internet connections... and (2) to get the procedures into the minds of students, so that the students ask their teachers for fully guided instruction. I hope that Richard E. Clark's 2005 chapter about the “popular but misguided principles of multimedia learning” will guide teachers. If you think this class is about “technology in classrooms,” then we have covered only 10% of the topic. Most of our time should be discussing “how do we change the core beliefs of our students so that they can use technology better?” We might need to change some of our core beliefs, too. The readings mentioned in this book should inspire the participants of this workshop to produce procedures and lesson plans. As Gordon Dryden hoped, these procedures and lessons will be distributed to teachers who lack many of the devices that are mentioned in this book. This book is for participants. You who read these pages can bring these procedures into classrooms and ensure that students will not be bored. No more boring lessons. No more bored students. When a student daydreams or sleeps in class, a teacher probably needs retraining. Your projects, procedures and digital projects will be part of the package that helps retrain teachers to become guides on the side.
