Review: Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age

Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age by Suzie Boss; Jane Krauss

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


You think you know project-based learning until you read this book. This book was a great review of what you already knew and really made you think about the details of a great project. A lot of planning goes into a fantastic project and it pays off with the quality of the kids work. Reinventing Project-Based Learning will get you started if you are new to project-based learning, brush you up if you are rusty, or help you fine-tune your projects. You really can't go wrong no matter what stage you are at with project-based learning. I heartily recommend it!

Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Halpern

Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Halpern

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book is laugh out loud funny! I know that sounds a little trite but I don't usually laugh out loud while reading. I thought I had trouble taking my husband out in public but he isn't a match to Justin's dad. Justin's dad constantly embarrasses him with his salty language and vivid descriptions of bodily functions. You can tell how much his dad loves him but Justin never knows what is going to come out of his dad's mouth. Quick read. Very enjoyable. Don't miss it!

Rewired: Understanding the iGeneration and the Way They Learn by Larry Rosen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book was right on the money - except for the stereotype that older teachers don't use technology. If you are a teacher and you need a little research to back up your innovative use of technology in the classroom, this is the book for you.
