Download or read book Teaching Tech Together written by Greg Wilson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hundreds of grassroots groups have sprung up around the world to teach programming, web design, robotics, and other skills outside traditional classrooms. These groups exist so that people don't have to learn these things on their own, but ironically, their founders and instructors are often teaching themselves how to teach. There's a better way. This book presents evidence-based practices that will help you create and deliver lessons that work and build a teaching community around them. Topics include the differences between different kinds of learners, diagnosing and correcting misunderstandings, teaching as a performance art, what motivates and demotivates adult learners, how to be a good ally, fostering a healthy community, getting the word out, and building alliances with like-minded groups. The book includes over a hundred exercises that can be done individually or in groups, over 350 references, and a glossary to help you navigate educational jargon.
Download or read book El lado positivo del fracaso written by John C. Maxwell and published by HarperEnfoque. This book was released on 2011-05-30 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La principal diferencia entre la gente que alcanza metas y la gente promedio es su percepción y respuesta al fracaso. John C. Maxwell trata sobre las razones más importantes por las que la gente fracasa y muestra cómo dominar el temor en lugar de ser dominado por él. Los lectores descubrirán que los beneficios positivos pueden acompañar las experiencias negativas, si uno tiene la actitud correcta. Completamente lleno de sugerencias de acción e historias de la vida real, El lado positivo del fracaso ayudará a hombres y mujeres a superar los errores para satisfacer su potencial y lograr el éxito. ¿Nacieron algunas personas para lograr lo que quieren mientras que los demás tienen que luchar? Algunos dirán que tienen suerte, están bendecidos o tienen el toque de Midas. Pero, ¿cuál es la razónde sus triunfos? ¿Será que tienen mejor trasfondo familiar, más capital, mayores oportunidades o normas más altas? John C. Maxwell, autor de éxitos de librería según el New York Times, tiene la respuesta: La diferencia entre la gente promedio y los triunfadores es el concepto quetienen del fracaso y cómo lo enfrentan. La mayoría de las personas no está preparada para enfrentar al fracaso. Dice Maxwell que si somos como era él, al salir de la escuela, temíamos al fracaso, no lo entendíamos, y huimos de él. Pero Maxwell ha aprendido a hacer del fracaso un amigo y puede enseñarnos a hacer lo mismo. «Quiero que aprenda cómo mirar con confianza la posibilidad de fracasar y a trabajar para transformar ese fracaso en victoria», dice Maxwell. «Porque en la vida, la pregunta no es si vamos a tener problemas, sino cómo vamos a enfrentarlos. No dé un paso atrás sino transforme sus problemas en victorias».

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Book excerpt: Ken Boa hits the mark. You don't have to look very far today to come across "popular" ideas of leadership that try hard to mimic biblical principles. The problem is that's all they do... mimic. Boa propels leadership a giant step forward with the revelation of the ultimate Christian leadership model. Boa rejects the compromises found in much of today's teaching that force-fit secular standards into a biblical mold—ideas that hover around humanistic ideas of fairness, kindness, and basic morality. Instead, Boa challenges leaders to do a serious evaluation of their approach and to follow the leadership qualities exhibited by God in his Word.
