Download or read book Rewiring Education written by John D. Couch and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2023-01-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if we could unlock the potential in every child? As it turns out, we can. Apple's iconic cofounder Steve Jobs had a powerful vision for education: employing technology to make an enormous impact on the lives of millions of students. To realize this vision, Jobs tapped John D. Couch, a trusted engineer and executive with a passion for education. Couch believed the real purpose of education was to help children discover their unique potential and empower them to reach beyond their perceived limitations. Today, technology is increasingly integrated into every aspect of our lives, rewiring our homes, our jobs, and even our brains. Most important, it presents an opportunity to rewire education to enrich and strengthen our schools, children, and society In Rewiring Education, Couch shares the professional lessons he's learned during his 50-plus years in education and technology. He takes us behind Apple's major research study, Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT), and its follow-up (ACOT 2), highlighting the powerful effects of the Challenge-Based Learning framework. Going beyond Apple's walls, he also introduces us to some of the most extraordinary parents, educators, and entrepreneurs from around the world who have ignored the failed promises of memorization and, instead, utilize new science-backed methods and technologies that benefit all children, from those who struggle to honor students. Rewiring Education presents a bold vision for the future of education, looking at promising emerging technologies and how we—as parents, teachers, and voters—can ensure children are provided with opportunities and access to the relevant, creative, collaborative, and challenging learning environments they need to succeed.

Book excerpt: In this day and age, we need globalization to substantially increase the world's quality of life, particularly for those several billion human beings who need it most. Fortunately, there is monumental room for improvement. With his vast experience in the subject, author Martin Marmolejo shows how today's global mind-set can become an ideal opportunity to raise ambitions, improve local attitudes, and adapt to new realities as long as the attitude is a positive one. In this ambitious work, Marmolejo covers the principal aspects of globalization by tackling several topics from a multi disciplinary angle-historical, geopolitical, economic, financial, philosophical, strategic, and social. Strand by strand, Marmolejo unravels a series of myths and unfounded fears about globalization and covers the main variables that influence the success or failure of this global economic integration. He delves into countries around the world and analyzes each society's main characteristics with its inseparable economic implications. In addition, Marmolejo addresses fundamental reflections on economic topics, with particular emphasis on the business cycle. Comprehensive and meticulously researched, "Globalization: Opportunities and Implications" is a timely addition to the important, ongoing discussion of this controversial topic.

Book excerpt: A fully revised and updated edition to a classic bestseller, The Macho Paradox is the first book to show how violence against women is a men's issue—and how all genders can come together to stop it. From the #MeToo movement to current discussions about gender norms in schools, sports, politics, and media culture, The Macho Paradox incorporates the voices and experiences of the women, men, and others who have confronted the problem of gender violence from all angles. Bestselling author Jackson Katz is a pioneering educator and activist on the topic of men's violence against women. In this revised edition of his heralded book, Katz outlines the ways in which cultural ideas about "manhood" contribute to men's sexually harassing and abusive behaviors and that men have a positive role to play in challenging and changing the sexist cultural norms that too often lead to gender violence. This important book for abused women covers topics ranging from mental and emotional abuse to sexual harassment to domestic violence and is a vital read for women with controlling partners or as a self-help book for men. Praise for The Macho Paradox: "A candid look at the cultural factors that lend themselves to tolerance of abuse and violence against women."—Booklist "If only men would read Katz's book, it could serve as a potent form of male consciousness-raising."—Publishers Weekly "These pages will empower both men and women to end the scourge of male violence and abuse. Katz knows how to cut to the core of the issues, demonstrating undeniably that stopping the degradation of women should be every man's priority."—Lundy Bancroft, author of Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men
