Rezensionen
A book for every teacher s bookshelf

This book has a similar layout to the first edition. The chapter commences with useful theoretical information followed by a task to reinforce learning. At the end of every chapter is a recommended reading or resource list.

The chapter relating to cyber bullying is extremely useful for teachers and students alike, enabling them to know and understand the importance of identifying potential threats online. The activity assists in the identification of a bullying profile. The use of case studies also highlights the problems that can occur through lack of awareness.

Teaching blended or online learning is on the increase in most education establishments, therefore the chapter on Enriching your practice is an essential part of the teacher s resource pack. Creative teaching in the classroom is enhanced with online tools and games as many students now expect to use Google classrooms, hangouts, Skype, Blogs and Wikis as part of their normal learning, whether it is in the classroom or online. The book gives a comprehensive overview of the tools and apps that can be used to help turn a mediocre teaching session into an outstanding one.

The companion website ensures that teaching staff have access to relevant links and handouts that can be used in the classroom. The use of the website will facilitate the development of outstanding and creative lessons.
