Colonial American History:
The Essential Story
by Dr. Robert Owens
This work is written for non-Historians, and is a handy easy-to-read condensed
look at Early American History. It is composed of short chapters each of
which is designed to be a stand-alone treatment of a segment of time. It is my
hope that this book will help fill the void that is exposed by the general lack
of historical perspective which I believe is a major contributor to America’s
current lack of self-awareness of and appreciation for the uniqueness which
is the United States.
Misunderstood Children
by Elizabeth Harrison, Introduction by Wallace Boston
Elizabeth Harrison considered her books to be an essential way of
reaching the public with her message of the importance of early childhood
education. She believed that children had a great deal to teach adults
and this volume is perhaps the clearest affirmation of that philosophy.
Designing, Adapting, Strategizing in Online Education
Edited and Introduced by Phil Ice
This volume wrestles with the development of technology for teaching.
Adapting software to individual learners, social media in the classroom,
game theory in teaching and other cutting edge topics are debated.
Understanding Internet Policies and Complexities
by Melissa Layne
Why has the study of effective standards for online education grown steadily,
beyond the usual confines of departments and colleges of education, in contrast to the level of interest in the higher education classroom? The process
for online and blended course creation and improvement at the postsecondary level has engaged individuals and institutions in ways seldom experienced in face-to-face education.
