Extreme Curriculum Makeover A Hands-On Guide for a Learner-Centered Pedagogy [Paperback]

For many years, the development of technology has outpaced classroom applications of that technology.? Gabriel Rshaids new book goes a long way in closing that gap.? His recommendations for practical, hands-on uses of technology in classes provide teachers with timely and relevant strategies that will engage and challenge students.Deeply grounded in theory, but extremely practical, educator Gabriel Rshaid provides a roadmap to the future of learner-centered pedagogy.The thread of technology is woven throughout the book as it lends support to inquiry, research, and product creation. I especially appreciated the methodological process for each topic with objectives, age levels, and procedures. This will be most helpful as teachers shift toward the new learning paradigm as described in Extreme Curriculum Makeover.Reading this guide should heighten awareness of the instructional leader/teacher to the need for students to be able to imagine, create, and embrace real-world, real-time work. Rshaid made me reflect on why curriculum must change for the benefit of students.In this compelling and timely book, Gabriel Rshaid offers a riveting demonstration of how educators and non-educators, working together, can create schools of the future now by organically changing school pedagogy and practice.Gabriel Rshaid has taken his passion of using technology in the classroom to another dimension. His latest work expands the possibilities of the present school model and implores educators to rethink the current paradigm of schooling. He makes a powerful case that our current model of educating children needs a revolution and backs it up with practical, creative, and usable examples that all teachers and principals can implement immediately. His extensive knowledge of use of technology, its potential, and leading edge web references that extend the classroom to endless possibilities is just the stimulus our schools need to overcome the inertia we are currently experiencing.
