Oates greg (31 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. In this generous selection of Joyce Carol Oates's letters to her biographer and friend Greg Johnson, readers will discover a never-before-seen dimension of her phenomenal talent. In 1975, when Johnson was an undergraduate, he first wrote to Oates, already a world-famous author, and drew an appreciative, empathetic response. Soon the two began a fairly intense, largely epistolary friendship that would last until the present day. As time passed, letters became faxes, and faxes became emails, but the energy and vividness of Oates's writing never abated. Her letters are often sprinkled with the names of famous people, from John Updike and Toni Morrison to Steve Martin and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. There are also descriptions of far-flung travels she undertook with her first husband, the scholar and editor Raymond Smith, and with her second, the distinguished Princeton neuroscientist Charlie Gross. But much of Oates's prose centered on the pleasures of her home life, including her pet cats and the wildlife outside her study window. Whereas her academic essays and book reviews are eloquent in a formal way, in these letters she is wholly relaxed, even when she is serious in her concerns. Like Johnson, she was always engaged in work, whether a long novel or a brief essay, and the letters give a fascinating glimpse into Oates's writing practice.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This edited volume gathers contributions from international scholars focusing on social media's role and impact on mathematics education. Social media's integration into pedagogical strategies (from social networking sites to video-sharing platforms) offers the opportunity to enhance learning by fostering connectivity and engagement among students, ultimately improving mathematical understanding in educational settings. This text aims to provide guidance on the facilitation of peer learning and collaboration, as well as highlighting the necessary shift in traditional methods to include cyber assistance in the learning process.The book discusses how social media aligns with social-constructivist theories of learning, its consistency with the process of developing students into independent learners and provides means to ensuring educators remain relevant and connected to students' preferred modes of learning. Challenges and benefits of the use of social media tools in teaching are also detailed. Examining the potential for effective integration of social media in the classroom, this book is a valuable resource for educators, practitioners and researchers interested in mathematics education.…
