Editorial Reviews

Review

There is nothing like a great question to send you on a rich and meaningful quest for learning. A great question forces us to challenge our most taken for granted beliefs and threatens to uproot our most deeply rooted habits.Who owns the learning? is one of those great questions. When I first allowed myself to ask the question, and really sit with it for a while, I soon found myself questioning everything in my teaching practice. Fortunately, November offers inspiring stories along with practical advice to help us on the journey forward, while leaving enough space to make each of our journeys our very own. --Michael Wesch, Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas

Fantastic! Captivating from the start, this book will change the way one thinks about the process of learning. The many examples help provide explicit guidance on how to move from a teacher-centered to a learner-centered approach. --Eric Mazur, Area Dean of Applied Physics, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts

If you think you know what problem-based learning is, or if you've ever wondered what formative assessment actually looks like in a digital world, Who Owns the Learning? is your first port of call: the first step in providing real meaning to the learning of your students. --Ewan McIntosh, Founder and CEO, NoTosh (UK) Learning | Digital | Design Thinking, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Guide to Engagement and Purpose June 16, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
After being inspired by Alan November, who was delivering the keynote address at a conference I attended, I roared through this brief book. On one hand, November implores us to achieve more with our students and our technological possibilities. More importantly, he provides very specific approaches - complete with links to appropriate software and sites - so that teachers can make positive changes very quickly.

I would highly recommend this practical guide to all teachers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for educators everywhere June 4, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
In order to compete globally, we MUST change our way of thinking when it comes to education. This is a great start and highly recommended to begin to think as 21st century educators (not just educators in the 21st century). Should be mandatory reading for all administrators, teachers, and staff, and suggested reading for parents.

Format:Perfect Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I highly recommend this book by Alan November. It talks about the empowerment of the students and letting them take control of their learning. I am so truly inspired by this and have signed up for a book club. Alan's visiting our school soon and am looking forward to hearing him in person.

Thanks
