LOST Opportunities: Learning in Out-of-School Time
ISBN: 9789400743038 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Learning in informal settings is attracting growing attention from policymakers and researchers, yet there remains, at the moment, a dearth of literature on the topic. Thus this volume, which examines how science and mathematics are experienced in everyday and out-of-school-time (OST) settings, makes an important contribution to the field of the learning sciences. Conducting research on OST learning requires us to broaden and deepen our conceptions of learning as well as to better identify the unique and common qualities of different learning settings. We must also find better ways to analyze...

They Might Be Giants' Flood
ISBN: 9781623569150 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 145 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For a few decades now, They Might Be Giants' album Flood has been a beacon (or at least a nightlight) for people who might rather read than rock out, who care more about science fiction than Slayer, who are more often called clever than cool. Neither the band's hip origins in the Lower East Side scene nor Flood's platinum certification can cover up the record's singular importance at the geek fringes of culture. Flood's significance to this audience helps us understand a certain way of being: it shows that geek identity doesn't depend on references to Hobbits or...
