In Teaching English Language Learners through Technology , the authors explore the use of computers/technology as a pedagogical tool to aid in the appropriate instruction of ELLs across all content areas. The special focus of this book is on the informed use of various technologies and software programs that can specifically aid ELLs. Strategies are also provided for varying levels of access--whether teachers teach in a one computer classroom, have access to multiple computers, or have the ability to go into a computer lab at their school.
Coding Cultures explores how a range of media technologies can enable communities to express and share their stories in innovative and imaginative ways. I am particularly interested in this intersection between people using well established processes for engaging with communities and individuals and the application of a range of information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as the web or mobile phones for example. These new technologies enable a rich participatory media culture where people can make, share and distribute their experiences.
This book is about how to 'do' literacy and technology in educationally effective ways, in classrooms, in countries like Australia,Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. We do not suggest that teachers and schools must integrate new technologies into classroom work; at the same time, we recognise that resisting the pressure to take up technology is becoming more difficult by the day.
Beginning with an overview of renewables (including biomass, hydroelectricity, geothermal, tidal, wind, and solar power) this book explores the fundamentals of various renewable energy systems. The main focus is on technologies with high development potential such as solar thermal systems, photovoltaics, and wind power.
This Handbook is a comprehensive overview of the multidisciplinary field of discourse processes.
The editors hope to foster a more interdisciplinary approach to discourse processing with this Handbook, while simultaneously developing an appreciation within the field for multiple methods of establishing rigorous scientific claims.
The field of discourse processes is currently fueled by seven dominant approaches:
* discourse psychology;
* corpus analysis;
* computational discourse;
* discourse technologies;
* conversation analysis;
* hybrid qualitative and quantitative approaches; and
* cultural foundations.
The contributors also discuss future trends in research, including corpus analyses, the integration of neuroscience with discourse research, and the development of more advanced computer technologies for analyzing discourse.
