Opis: Leading Connected Classrooms - Robert Dillon

As we move past an era of education completely dominated by high stakes testing, educators are looking for a counter narrative and fresh road forward to bring authentic learning to the classroom. This book looks at student engagement as central to excellent learning and growth for students, and it weaves into its fabric the essential nature of connected learning for teachers to maximize the four tenets of engagement. Those tenets are: giving students' choice in showcasing their learning, having student voice amplifying through their work, providing an authentic audience for the projects and work product in the classroom beyond the teacher, and showing students that their work can change their school, community, and planet. There is growing demand by teachers and school leaders for resources and ideas surrounding student engagement as the infusion of technology, complexity, and increased rigor has made the need for engagement in classroom an even more essential element for successful schools. "Being a connected educator is a requirement today for relevant teaching. However, often, many do not know what effects being connected has on learning. What Bob lays out in this book are the stories and methods every educator needs to know to ensure they are providing the best possible learning for students. The ideas are practical and can work in classrooms that are rich with technology or even those without. A must-add to any professional library." -- Steven W. Anderson, @web20classroom, Author, The Relevant Educator "Leading Connected Classrooms is not just any technology integration book. Robert Dillon provides useful tips and resources for transforming your classes into communities in which students help each other succeed. This book is full of examples of teachers using technology to support collaboration and motivate students. Integrating technology is a tough journey like most learning adventures. However, teachers who implement the tips in this book will see how taking that journey transform their practice and helps them make meaningful connections with their students." -- Shelly Terrell, @ShellTerrell, Education Speaker and Trainer "The layout of the book is structured in a way that helps me to feel organized as I am reading, learning, and taking notes for future use. The resources are relevant to the classroom connection so I can continue making connections after I am finished reading, and the book gives many excellent examples but also allows room for you to think and grow through the essential questions available in every chapter. This book is well worth your time!" -- Laura Conley, Technology Integration Facilitator "Leading Connected Classrooms: Engaging the Hearts and Souls of Learners is a great book for all teachers and teacher leaders. It combines the voices of seasoned connected educators with great suggestions for growth for those new to building connected classrooms as well as those educators that have been connected for years. Dr. Dillon writes with an optimism that is contagious. The energy of the words jump from each page. Most importantly, the book paints a hope on how we can build the connections in classrooms that all kids deserve." -- Thomas C.
