By now it has become a commonplace that there is hardly any branch of knowledge or applied knowledge which does not make use of information technology. It is becoming ever more self-evident that doctors, lawyers, architects, archaeologists, pilots, cashiers, lotto receivers, surveyors, secretaries, and a host of other people must be computer literate if they are to survive. Moreover, it is also evident that the advances made in the general sciences are simply staggering. The traditional sciences together with computer science seem to be a sine qua non both in the classroom and in daily life. The world needs science in order to survive and advance. There is therefore a whole body of scientific knowledge which simply has to be discovered and grasped. In this respect, governments and universities have a crucial role to play in seeing that sufficient investment is made for the research and teaching of the so-called hard sciences (as well as computer science) for the betterment of humanity at large. ; N/A

"Political science is for everybody is the first intersectionality-mainstreamed textbook written for introductory political science courses. While political science and politics are for everybody, political institutions (and the discipline of political science) are neither neutral nor unbiased. When we write political science textbooks that obscure the differences in how groups experience and interact with political institutions, we do students a disservice. This book exposes students to these differences while also bringing marginalized voices to the fore in political science, allowing more students to see their lived experiences reflected in the pages of their political science textbook. Bringing together a diverse group of contributors, political science is for everybody teaches all the basics of political science while showing that representation matters--both in politics and in the political science classroom."--

This book argues that superhero revision offers new perspectives on the theory and practice of revision in broader contexts, in particular composition studies. Key developments in the history of superhero and composition revision reveal that both are deeply embedded in questions of narrative temporality. The book looks at three unorthodox revision strategies: sideshadowing, in which traditional tropes of superhero narratives are told with 'new' characters that clearly evoke traditional ones; excavation, the reintegration and reinterpretation of elements and influences from earlier texts that have been de-emphasized or written out of continuity; andhomodoxy, the narrative coexistence of inconsistent elements culled from different versions of a character's textual history. The ensuing cross-disciplinary exploration helps correct a distorted stereotype of revision as a neutral mechanical process, revealing it instead as a potent force operating across a spectrum that ranges from restrictive adherence to orthodoxies, to radical resistance against the primacy of tradition.

The purpose of this action research project was to explore the integration and implementation of technology within the high school ceramic arts classroom. I investigated the ways Chromebooks, printers, smartphones, and social media could be utilized to help inform students' art making processes through their research, exploration of material, execution, and dissemination of artwork. My guiding research questions were: What are the current uses of innovative technologies, such as Google Classroom or producing online instructional videos, how do students utilize these technologies, and what are more artistic avenues of student engagement with new digital media within the art classroom? I conducted my research over the course of eight weeks at a well funded suburban high school on the outskirts of Chicago. In particular, I focused on the Ceramics II class, which consisted of students ranging from 9th to 12th grade. With adequate funding and resources, including computer labs, color printers, and personal Chromebooks, my students and I had access to a plethora of technology with which to utilize in the classroom. My methodology included mindmapping exercises, sketching, planning that makes use of student Chrome books and phones for research, completing assignments on Google Classroom, and sharing work digitally online through social media. I found that using technology as a tool, such as a computer and laserjet printer to create ceramic decals, ran into boundaries and limitations with supplies and budget. However, when switching the focus to students, their phones, and social media, opportunities opened up with students becoming more engaged with the lesson. It is important to see where technology exists now and how it is becoming integrated within the classroom, without discounting its purpose and necessity within the arts, even ceramics. Technology can and should act as a democratization tool rather than an elitist commodity. This becomes complicated when faced with accessibility limitations, what students have access to and use, and even persists within well funded suburban schools. As a teacher doing this type of work, it is vital to turn to what students are familiar with, while providing new approaches to creating their art. Integrating technology is one means to help inform students' art making processes and promote conceptual thinking beyond technical skill building.

Social Science Learning in Schools: Perspective and Challenges locates the teaching and learning of social science within the larger perspective and aims of education. It emphasizes the need to take the teaching of social science beyond the confines of contemporary ideological debates, into the realm of pedagogical theory. It presents critical perspectives on curriculum design, textbook development and social science pedagogy. Discussions on pedagogy are situated in analyses of Eklayva's social science textbooks which were in use for over 15 years in government schools in Madhya Pradesh. The b
