“Fix the School, Not the Child: 20 Ideas for Parents Who Want to Advocate for the Rights of their Child in School (The Innovative Educator)” (2014)
"Fix the School, Not the Child" provides parents with 20 concrete actions they can take to advocate for the rights of their child in school today. It was inspired by the movie "Race to Nowhere". The movie identified issues with schools, but ended with no solutions. "Fix the School, Not the Child" was written to provide parents with solutions they can pursue when schools are not meeting their children's needs.
“Teaching generation text: using cell phones to enhance learning” (2011)
Teaching Generation Text shows how teachers can turn cell phones into an educational opportunity instead of an annoying distraction. With a host of innovative ideas, activities, lessons, and strategies, Nielsen and Webb offer a unique way to use students' preferred method of communication in the classroom. Cell phones can remind students to study, serve as a way to take notes, provide instant, on-demand answers and research, be a great vehicle for home-school connection, and record and capture oral reports or responses to polls and quizzes, all of which can be used to enhance lesson plans and increase motivation.
