"Future Ready" is a comprehensive open education resource that highlights practical steps for maintaining physical health, overall wellness, and embracing individuality. It addresses the impact of technology, the role of parents and doctors in protecting teenagers, and the importance of virtues for decision-making and fulfillment. The guide encourages teenagers to challenge themselves physically, manage emotions effectively, and use proactive language for self-control.

This lesson is to help teachers set up an account on Twitter and connect with other educators to grow personally and professionally.

Within the rapidly expanding field of educational technology, learners and educators must confront a seemingly overwhelming selection of tools designed to deliver and facilitate both online and blended learning. Many of these tools assume that learning is configured and delivered in closed contexts, through learning management systems (LMS). However, while traditional "classroom" learning is by no means obsolete, networked learning is in the ascendant. A foundational method in online and blended education, as well as the most common means of informal and self-directed learning, networked learning is rapidly becoming the dominant mode of teaching as well as learning.

In Teaching Crowds, Dron and Anderson introduce a new model for understanding and exploiting the pedagogical potential of Web-based technologies, one that rests on connections — on networks and collectives — rather than on separations. Recognizing that online learning both demands and affords new models of teaching and learning, the authors show how learners can engage with social media platforms to create an unbounded field of emergent connections. These connections empower learners, allowing them to draw from one another’s expertise to formulate and fulfill their own educational goals. In an increasingly networked world, developing such skills will, they argue, better prepare students to become self-directed, lifelong learners.

How do you teach world current events? From history textbooks? From the internet? From watching the news? The 21st Century World: Crises and Solutions, aims to remedy a scarcity of comprehensive analysis of world events. It recollects the recent past, analyzes the factors that destabilize and threaten human life, and examines sustainable and fair solutions. The chapters are organized in four parts: sustainability, demographics, literacy, and freedoms. Coverage includes the sustainability of land and water use, poverty-induced issues such as health, hunger, and homelessness, the global economy, population distribution and location, migrations and refugees, education and information and issues of violence that find outlets in oppression, protests, war, and terrorism.

Understanding Media and Culture: An Introduction to Mass Communication was written to squarely emphasize media technology. Jack believes that an introduction to mass communication text should be a compelling, historical narrative sketching the *ongoing evolution* of media technology and how that technology shapes and is shaped by culture — and that is what he set out to deliver with his new textbook.

Today’s students are immersed in media technology. They live in a world of cell phones, smart phones, video games, iPods, laptops, Facebook, Twitter, FourSquare, and more. They fully expect that new technology will be developed tomorrow. Yet students often lack an historical perspective on media technology. They lack knowledge of the social, political and economic forces that shape media technology. This is not knowledge for knowledge’s sake. It is knowledge that can help them understand, comprehend, appreciate, anticipate, shape and control media technology.

With this focus, Understanding Media and Culture becomes an appropriate title. Indeed, the title has particular significance. Marshall McLuhan’s Understanding Media is a key text in media studies. Written in the 1960s, Understanding Media was the subject of intense debates that continue to this day. Its central message was that the technology of media — not their content — was their most important feature. In a typically pithy phrase, McLuhan said, ”The medium is the message.“ The title, Understanding Media and Culture: An Introduction to Mass Communication, situates the introductory text in a large, engrossing theoretical conversation.

The goal is to adopt a textbook that will support and complement your teaching of this course. Jack Lule’s, Understanding Media and Culture: An Introduction to Mass Communication, will support an engaging and interesting course experience for students that will not only show them the powerful social, political and economic forces will affect the future of media technology, but will challenge students to do their part in shaping that future.

"Background: Strong learner-teacher relationships are associated with more successful learning outcomes. With shortened modular curricula and increased availability of online resources, fostering faculty interaction with preclinical medical students has become more challenging. We sought to enhance learner-teacher relationships by engaging in discussion with preclinical medical students in their own online space. Methods: We utilized a closed Facebook discussion group, where faculty and students voluntarily joined in informal discussions and shared announcements related to their courses. The closed discussion group allowed only participating students and faculty to see others’ posts within the group. This provided a platform to freely interact within the confines of the group while maintaining privacy for the personal Facebook accounts of both faculty and students. We utilized the discussion group through 3 separate organ system-based modules for 14 weeks..."

"Strong learner-teacher relationships are associated with better learning outcomes But in medical school, in-person interactions can be hard to come by Researchers at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences recently sought to enhance learner-teacher relationships by engaging students online They used a closed Facebook group for faculty and students across 3 learning modules spanning 14 weeks A survey found that regular interaction between faculty and students via the Facebook discussion group built rapport and closer relationships Students also felt more comfortable asking questions and seeking help from faculty This safe and positive environment fostered better learning and emotional wellbeing among students Although the analysis is based on a self-reported student survey in one institution, the results are encouraging Free, efficient, and effective, Facebook could act as a natural extension of medical school to a format that is familiar and convenient to the emerging generation of physicia.."

This module is part of the Foundations of School Librarianship on using web resources to enhance learning and build collections. It describes a process by which the school librarian and teacher will collaborate on a high school-level project to explore how researchers are using social media to promote and distribute their research findings. This presents a great opportunity for science teachers and school librarians to tap into high school students' enthusiasm for social media in a constructive and educational way. It also provides opportunities for school librarians to collaborate with teachers on developing or enhancing students information evaluation skills. And finally, the days of speaking of collection development as a library activity that means adding physical volumes to the collection may be over. Rather, we speak of developing access to quality resources that enhance learning. Social media sites that provide free access to quality research data supports the concept of promoting Open Educational Resources (OERs).

The student created, student managed Kiski Area Veterans Website, established in 2016, showcases local veterans stories while honing Biographical Research skills. Combining Gigapan Technology with the power of G-Suite, photos of local monuments are uploaded to our site, serving as the foundation bringing students closer to local Veterans while encouraging community involvement in our curriculum.
