My school has gone PBL and while I have visited schools and had inservices, I have found this book to be the most valuable. It is user friendly and keeps you from having to reinvent the wheel every time you turn around. It was worth every penny ... and they were my pennies not the schools : )

Creative Activities for Young Children Review

Creative Activities for Young Children

I bought a used copy in good condition for $3.00.
This is the recommended purchase price, not $116.49
Congratulations to Mayesky on her retirement fund.
10th edition! Who could quarrel with that? I can.
This book is designed for the uncreative teacher,
swamped-under in an over-enrolled classroom.
It sets a standard for "creativity" that is mediocre,
despite the promises of the publisher. Visit any
preschool in America and this is what you can see.
Under-funded programs require this approach to
"creativity" - popsicle sticks and glitter, perhaps with
a feather for that additional creative flourish. Sad.
If you have more than $3.00, try The 100 Languages
of Children (Reggio Emilia) or Let's Talk With The World

Reading the Web: Strategies for Internet Inquiry (Solving Problems in the Teaching of Literacy) Review

I was required to read this book for a class I was taking. At first glance I thought it would be "just another textbook." However, I quickly realized what a goldmine of information and guidance the book delivers. It takes a huge concept and breaks it down into readily usable applications. Too often I will find great theory resources, but they will lack the day-to-day nitty gritty of application. This book has the theory, the steps, the handouts, even the lesson plans. I found the readability engaging and direct. Great resource and great introduction into the miasma of inquiry-based research and 21st literacy skills. Thank you, Drs. Eagleton and Dobler, you have given me a launch into a whole new curriculum!
