Educational Controversies Towards a Discourse of Reconciliation
For the last 100 years, people have argued vigorously about a vast number of educational issues. At the heart of the arguments lies the question: What is the purpose of education? This conflict of educational purpose has seen rifts between academics, educators, politicians and parents. The authors of this book don't believe the conflicts need to be so hysterical, nor that the oppositions are incompatible. Rather, that it is in the manner in which debate is conducted that is so damaging. In this book, the authors contend that there are political, social, moral and civic needs for a new stance to debate the way forward. Examining a number of key controversies in educational discourse the book suggests ways in which controversies may be reconciled by looking for interrelations, mutual dependencies and links of importance. It develops current debate and provides suggestions for developing nurturing and supportive learning communities and so lead to educational change.
Emerging Technologies for the Classroom
This book provides contemporary examples of the ways in which educators can use digital technologies to create effective learning environments that support improved learning and instruction. These examples are guided by multiple conceptual and methodological traditions evolving from the learning sciences and instructional technology communities as well as other communities doing important work on learning technologies. In particular, the book provides examples of technology innovations and the ways in which educators can use them to foster deep understanding, collaboration, creativity, invention, and reflection. Additional examples demonstrate the ways in which emerging mobile and networked technologies can help extend student learning beyond the confines of the classroom wall and support student-directed learning and new media literacies.

VIVRE HEUREUX MOURIR SEREIN
"Vivre heureux", tout le monde sait à peu près ce que cela signifie. En revanche, "Mourir serein", c'est moins sûr. Si je devais résumer cet état de sérénité face à la mort, je dirais que toute personne qui la sent approcher, la sienne ou celle d'autrui, devrait en accepter le principe et l'accueillir avec confiance. Malheureusement, l'idée de trépasser est si terrorisante pour la plupart d'entre-nous que l'association "mort et sérénité" parait complètement folle. Mais si mourir n'était pas obligatoirement ce que l'on en croit, ni ce que l'on en redoute? Si ce n'était pas qu'une fin, mais aussi un début? C'est ce que semblent dire tous ceux qui ont vécu une expérience de ...
