This book contains some well-formatted entertaining plays that allow children to act out the stories while the teacher feeds them lines. I tried out the warm-up exercises and two other plays, "Friends 1 and 2 have an argument" and "Goldilocks and the Many Bears" on children ages 4-9 and the kids had a great time! I asked the kids what they thought of the plays and they said, "They were fun!" The kids and I look forward to performing more of these charming little plays.
This book adopts a pragmatic and commonsense approach to blended learning, by situating the use of online media within a well-grounded teaching and learning strategy. It provides practical ideas for the successful implementation of blended strategies, including good practice in both asynchronous and synchronous tutoring, appropriate assessment design for developing successful blended learners, and innovative approaches to professional development for distance tutors. It is illustrated with a wide variety of examples and comments from students and practitioners in both distance and campus based environments in thirteen different countries.
Written in a refreshing and accessible style, this book is full of practical advice, hints, ideas and information for anyone who is about to, or who is already in the process of teaching adults. Uniquely, it acts as a first-step primer as well as a reminder of good practice to those with more experience.
