Book excerpt: The Rewards and Challenges of Teaching Computerized Office Technology by Olivia Moore After thirty years of experience in the classroom, Olivia Moore maintains a firm belief that with a positive attitude, diligence, and no shortage of discipline, any student can be successful. Her dedication to inspiring students to reach their potential extends to other teachers. In The Rewards and Challenges of Teaching Computerized Office Technology, Moore recounts her methodology as an instructor of adult vocational education and her own professional journey alongside that of her students'. Defined by her unwavering belief in the value of the individual, Moore views the student as a professional with assets they may not even realize they have without guidance and encouragement. Both a commentary about vocational education in America and the journey of one teacher, Moore's story is a tribute to the dynamic relationship between teacher and students, as well as a testament to the continued necessity of adult education in contemporary society. About the Author Currently a resident of her native Alabama, Olivia Moore is an avid reader who loves to sew, play cards, travel, and entertain family and friends. She enjoys sports, including college football, and games of chance, especially horse racing. Moore served as church announcer and fundraising chairperson for Garner Memorial C.M.E. Church, is the co-chairperson and treasurer of the scholarship committee for DNH/Lakeside High School Reunions, and a member of the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) NYC Board of Education, Retired Teachers Association of Decatur, Alabama, and the Alabama Democratic Committee (ADC) in Decatur.

Download or read book How People Learn written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-08-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First released in the Spring of 1999, How People Learn has been expanded to show how the theories and insights from the original book can translate into actions and practice, now making a real connection between classroom activities and learning behavior. This edition includes far-reaching suggestions for research that could increase the impact that classroom teaching has on actual learning. Like the original edition, this book offers exciting new research about the mind and the brain that provides answers to a number of compelling questions. When do infants begin to learn? How do experts learn and how is this different from non-experts? What can teachers and schools do-with curricula, classroom settings, and teaching methodsâ€"to help children learn most effectively? New evidence from many branches of science has significantly added to our understanding of what it means to know, from the neural processes that occur during learning to the influence of culture on what people see and absorb. How People Learn examines these findings and their implications for what we teach, how we teach it, and how we assess what our children learn. The book uses exemplary teaching to illustrate how approaches based on what we now know result in in-depth learning. This new knowledge calls into question concepts and practices firmly entrenched in our current education system. Topics include: How learning actually changes the physical structure of the brain. How existing knowledge affects what people notice and how they learn. What the thought processes of experts tell us about how to teach. The amazing learning potential of infants. The relationship of classroom learning and everyday settings of community and workplace. Learning needs and opportunities for teachers. A realistic look at the role of technology in education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this collection were commissioned by the Board on Testing and Assessment (BOTA) of the National Research Council (NRC) for a workshop held on November 14, 2001, with support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. Goals for the workshop were twofold. One was to share the major messages of the recently released NRC committee report, Knowing What Students Know: The Science and Design of Educational Assessment (2001), which synthesizes advances in the cognitive sciences and methods of measurement, and considers their implications for improving educational assessment. The second goal was to delve more deeply into one of the major themes of that report-the role that technology could play in bringing those advances together, which is the focus of these papers. For the workshop, selected researchers working in the intersection of technology and assessment were asked to write about some of the challenges and opportunities for more fully capitalizing on the power of information technologies to improve assessment, to illustrate those issues with examples from their own research, and to identify priorities for research and development in this area.
