Download or read book Street Games written by Richard M. Abrams and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11-29 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RICHARD M. ABRAMS, a retired U.C. Berkeley professor of modern U.S. history, recreates the many games, some of them now all-but extinct, played in the city streets daily by boys and girls during the turbulent era of the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the increasingly prosperous post-war environment. Abrams was born in Brooklyn in 1932 when cramped urban living quarters were commonplace, and limited income constricted access to organized sports venues and equipment. His was "an outdoor generation" forced to depend on inventive use of scarce resources. From many conversations over the years with his children, colleagues, friends, and students, he came to realize how few people today have any idea of the kinds of recreation that filled daily life for young city people in the years of his own youth. Street Games is a combination of Abrams's reminiscences of the games he played and his placement of those activities in the social history of the period, often highlighting its contrast with the world we know today. The work is compelling, informative, and fast-paced in its description of a mostly lost piece of history. It is also fascinating for its speculations about such things as the hidden meaning of "It" in games of tag, the small regard for safety (helmets? face masks? seat belts?), and the complex character of racism and ethnic tensions in those times. One reader of the manuscript remarked, “I have not read in many years anything that gave me so much pure, sustained pleasure.” RICHARD M. ABRAMS was educated in the public schools of Brooklyn. He earned his BA, MA, and Ph.D. degrees at Columbia University. He began his teaching career at Columbia in 1957. He moved to the University of California in Berkeley in 1961, where he taught until retiring in 2007. He is married to Marcia Ash Abrams, and they have three children and four grandchildren. He has been a visiting professor of history in London, Moscow, Beijing, and Innsbruck, and has lectured widely in Europe and Asia. His other books include: Conservatism in a Progressive Era; The Burdens of Progress; and most recently, America Transformed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every school wants to be inclusive. But often children on the autism spectrum are left behind when it comes to participating in physical education and becoming physically literate—in part because many physical educators feel unprepared to include children on the spectrum in class activities. That’s where Active Games for Children on the Autism Spectrum comes in. Theoretical Framework, Games, and Lesson Plans This text provides both the adaptive framework teachers need and more than 80 games to help children on the spectrum take part in physical activity, learn from games, and enjoy being active. Beyond the framework and games, the book will help physical educators, parents and caregivers, and others develop the courage, competence, and confidence they need to teach and help children on the autism spectrum. Active Games for Children on the Autism Spectrum offers an exploration of the ABCs of physical literacy (agility, balance, coordination, and speed); breakdowns of 16 specific skills, including fundamental movement skills, bike riding, skateboarding or scootering, swimming, and ice skating 22 games to practice the ABCs and skills; 30 single equipment games using Hula-Hoops, bean bags, scarves, rubber balls, gator balls, and racquets and balloons; 29 lesson plans for target games, net and wall games, striking and fielding games, and invasion games using the Teaching Games for Understanding approach; 21 bonus games to practice what is learned in the lessons; 14 warm-up and sport skill games; 4 warm-up games to be used in an inclusive class; and 1 sample home or gym fitness program. Games Are Easy to Use and Purposeful The games are easy to use, with clear instruction on how to effectively teach movement skills to all students, including those on the spectrum. The games are active, enjoyable, and imbued with purpose. They are accessible to anyone working with children on the autism spectrum in school, at home, or in other settings. What Sets This Book Apart What sets this text apart from similar books is its wealth of theoretical and practical content beyond the games. Its focus on physical activity, wellness, health, inclusion, and physical literacy in a wide variety of environments, along with its foundational content, makes Active Games for Children on the Autism Spectrum highly valuable to both experienced and inexperienced teachers, as well as parents and others working with children with autism. Chapters on physical literacy, adapting physical activity, planning, movement skills, community, family and friends, and fitness create a well-rounded, thorough exploration of how to help children on the spectrum enjoy the benefits of physical education and an active lifestyle. In doing so, these children can enhance their health, improve their motor skills, and strengthen their social skills.

Download or read book Neo Simulation and Gaming Toward Active Learning written by Ryoju Hamada and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides tips to teachers for moving toward active learning by using simulation and gaming. The book is a rare reference for teachers who wish to initiate active learning by applying many real experiences from world experts in simulation and gaming. This cumulative wisdom comes from cutting-edge trials reported at the 49th International Simulation and Gaming Association’s annual conference in Thailand 9–13 July 2018. The importance of changing teachers’ one-way lecture approach to that of active learning has been commonly understood for several decades and has been promoted especially in recent years in Asian universities. Simulation and gaming meets the requirements of such teaching programs, especially for active learning, but there are few books or references on how to gamify a lecture. This book serves as a guide to facilitate that change. The author recognizes the duty to provide readers with fixed directions toward simulation and gaming in the next generation, which have still not been fully elucidated. Developing a simulation and gaming culture and making it sustainable in the next decade are the purpose of this book.
