‘A typical child spends only 4 to 7 minutes outside each day. You may wonder, ‘‘How could that be?’’ It's time to teach kids how much fun it is to play outside—to romp in the dirt and run in the sun! Let Kinder Garden show you and your kids how gardening is a great form of exercise that will teach healthy eating while building brain muscles. Did you know that flowers are not the only things in the garden that bloom and grow—kids do, too! Karden, the puppet pal, reminds us that, with just a leaf, you can have fun for hours outside in the garden. Karden introduces 25 fun games like building a soil castle, making a sunflower watch, creating muddy art, and sponge tag! This book will help inspire adults and children to turn gardening into a family project full of fun memories, as well as to get a little exercise, too!’

The first comprehensive, research-based textbook on Internet-infused education, Educational Psychology and the Internet offers students an accessible guide to important issues in the field. Michael Glassman begins with an overview of the history that traces the evolution of the Internet and its significance for education. He outlines the current state of research, clearly defining terms that students will need to discuss larger concepts, such as hypertext and cyberspace. The second part of the book explores the practical applications of this research, which range from the individual-oriented to the generalized, including massive open online courses (MOOCs), open educational resources, and augmented reality. Key issues that affect teachers and students today, such as Net Neutrality and Creative Commons and Open Source licenses, are explained in straightforward terms, and often-overlooked differences - for example, between course management systems and learning management systems, and between blogs, social networking sites, and short messaging systems - are highlighted.

On stunning display are candlelit backyards with comfortable furniture, terraces with a calming view, soothing water features and pools, walls that block out the world and ensure privacy, and flowers and shrubbery to delight the eye.

Transforming outdoor space is one of the hottest home trends today. It expands indoor square footage, makes a property more usable, keeps homeowners healthier whether they grow vegetables or swim laps. It also makes a neighborhood more aesthetically attractive.
The Garden Bible can help homeowners understand the challenges of their site and what needs to be done on an ongoing basis for their garden to develop and thrive. Explaining the many options available, this title will show you how to get it right first time. Many garden books explain how to grow specific flowers, care for shrubs, trees and lawn, and plan a pool. But none take a homeowner from the beginning of the process to ask a professional the right questions, know the challenges of a specific site - drainage, erosion, privacy, noise, wind, too much sun or shade, wildlife, and understand what needs to be done on an ongoing basis for the garden to grow, evolve, and look better in years to come, as well as be in sync with its surroundings. Few books also explain all the stylistic options available and cost-saving solutions. This book will do this, and help guide you through the process of designing the perfect garden.
With 20 case studies, highlighting the most popular garden trends - how they transformed a site, what challenges were involved, and how the project could have been done with more affordable options - The Garden Bible will show you that not only is a great garden beautiful to look at, but it's also great for the soul.
