Exploring Talk in School
Selected as an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice Magazine, January 2010 Classroom talk, by which children make sense of what their peers and teachers mean, is the most important educational tool for guiding the development of understanding and for jointly constructing knowledge. So what practical steps can teachers take to develop effective classroom interaction? Bringing together leading international researchers and drawing on the pioneering work of Douglas Barnes, this book considers ways of improving classroom talk. Chapters cover: - classroom communication and managing social relations; - talk in science classrooms; - using critical conversations in studying literature; - exploratory talk and thinking skills; - talking to learn and learning to talk in the mathematics classroom; - the ′emerging pedagogy′ of the spoken word. With an accessible blend of theory, research and practice, the book will be a valuable resource for teachers, teacher-trainers, policy makers, researchers and students.
Communication and Learning Revisited
First published in 1995, Communication and Learning Revisited focuses on the importance and benefits of group dialogue in cooperative learning. The book explores the use of group dialogue among students across a variety of disciplines and demonstrates how collaboration helps them to understand different concepts.

Communication and Learning Revisited will appeal to those with an interest in teaching methods, classroom dialogue, and cooperative learning.

Weiner explains the development of pioneering conservation institutions, state practices, and ecological theory in t...

Team Human
Porchlight’s Management and Workplace Culture Book of The Year “[A] thoroughly fascinating exploration of the long interplay between power and the technologies of communication.” —Adam Frank, NPR Team Human is a manifesto—a fiery distillation of preeminent digital theorist Douglas Rushkoff’s most urgent thoughts on civilization and human nature. In one hundred lean and incisive statements, he argues that we are essentially social creatures, and that we achieve our greatest aspirations when we work together—not as individuals. Yet today society is threatened by a vast antihuman infrastructure that undermines our ability to connect. Money, once a means of exchange, is now a means...
Revit Architecture 2020 for Designers
Building information modeling (BIM) is rapidly replacing AutoCAD as the digital drawing tool of choice for architect and interior designers-and Revit ® Architecture is the leading software package in the BIM marketplace. Neither simplistic nor exhaustive, Revit ® Architecture 2020 for Designers is written specifically for architects and interior designers learning digital drawing for the first time or transitioning from CAD to BIM. Beginning with the building blocks of BIM (levels, walls, windows, and doors), the book progresses through in-depth instructions to create both presentation drawings and construction documents. Advanced features are also covered such as custom families, photorealistic rendering, custom title blocks, and exporting drawings to AutoCAD ® and SketchUp. Instructions are fully illustrated, creating smooth transition to the BIM environment for all designers. Clear, concise, and above all visual, this is the Revit guide written specifically for interior designers and architects.
