  Technology in Education -...

  Technology has played a crucial role in transforming education, evolving from simple tools like chalk and slates to modern digital platforms that facilitate learning in new and dynamic ways. As society has advanced, so has the need for more innovative teaching methods that enhance students’ understanding, engagement, and accessibility to knowledge. The journey of educational technology is a testament to human creativity and the desire to improve learning experiences across generations. 
  In the early stages of formal education, teaching methods relied heavily on oral instruction, handwritten texts, and rudimentary visual aids. With the invention of the printing press in the 15th century, books became more widely available, revolutionizing how information was shared and retained. This breakthrough allowed for the standardization of curricula and the spread of literacy on a much larger scale. Over time, blackboards and chalk became staple tools in classrooms, offering a way for teachers to visually illustrate lessons. 
  The 20th century marked a significant shift in educational technology. The introduction of radio and television into learning environments allowed educators to reach wider audiences, particularly in remote areas. In the 1960s and 1970s, computers began appearing in schools, though their use was initially limited to basic programming and computational tasks. As the digital revolution progressed, personal computers became more accessible, paving the way for multimedia presentations, digital research, and interactive learning experiences.

  Sasha LaPointe has always longed for a sense of home. When she was a child, her family moved around frequently, often staying in barely habitable church attics and trailers, dangerous places for young Sasha. 
   
   
    
  With little more to guide her than a passion for the thriving punk scene of the Pacific Northwest and a desire to live up to the responsibility of being the namesake of her beloved great-grandmother—a linguist who helped preserve her Indigenous language of Lushootseed—Sasha throws herself headlong into the world, determined to build a better future for herself and her people. 
   
   
    
  Set against a backdrop of the breathtaking beauty of Coast Salish ancestral land and imbued with the universal spirit of punk, Red Paint is ultimately a story of the ways we learn to find our true selves while fighting for our right to claim a place of our own. 
   
   
    
  Examining what it means to be vulnerable in love and in art, Sasha offers up an unblinking reckoning with personal traumas amplified by the collective historical traumas of colonialism and genocide that continue to haunt native peoples. Red Paint is an intersectional autobiography of lineage, resilience, and, above all, the ability to heal.

  Since the brutal attacks of October 7, 2023, the Gaza strip—home to over 2 million Palestinians—has once again become a critical flashpoint in the Middle East. As the world looks on in horror at the renewal of intense violence between Hamas and Israel, Gazans are engulfed by a humanitarian and security crisis that shows no signs of abating.

Norman and Maia Carter Hallward provide a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to Gaza's political history. Combining a nuanced narrative with hard-hitting reflections from everyday Gazans, the book tells the dynamic story of how Gaza became an epicenter of the Israeli–-Palestinian conflict and a pivotal hot-spot in the region. It also tells the story of a place that, for many residents, is defined by much more than violence or suffering, revealing the resilience and determination of those who live there.As the world grapples with how to envision Gaza after the latest devastation, this book provides a crucial foundation that unpacks the territory's history through the voices of its civilians, who are all too often absent from debate.

  The Examined Run - Why Good...

  Can running make me a more moral person? Can striving to be a better person make me a better runner? 
   
   
   
  In The Examined Run, philosopher and ultramarathon runner Sabrina B. Little asks whether running can be a laboratory for developing our character. She looks at the key ideas in virtue ethics—virtue, vice, exemplarism, moral emotions, and competition—and brings them into conversation with her experience in training and racing. Little pushes against the frequent conversations about ethics and sport that focus on the negative—doping and other forms of cheating or on simplistic expressions like "no pain, no gain." She argues that these ideas don't address the rich picture of how athletics inform a good life, and sport's relationship to acts of justice or courage. A good athlete is not just one who avoids cheating—rather, they perform feats of perseverance and courage, and succeed by working to develop their natural capacities. Little employs her own experiences in training, coaching, and racing in world class ultramarathons to reveal how athletics and virtue are deeply interconnected.
