Hence, this book is about teaching you how to write such fragments of code. However, it is not about teaching you the syntax of the statements in the fragments, it assumes that you already know the syntax. Instead, it is about finding solutions to problems that arise when first learning to program.11882022-06-07T18:56:17Z2024-01-22T14:52:32ZTechnology in Schools<img alt="Read more about Technology in Schools" title="Technology in Schools cover image" class="cover " width="714" height="976" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mzc0MiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--4f69db6c2729cbdef07035be26476c7b138ed307/TIS_web-2.png" />My purpose in writing this book is to give readers a view into the work of managing information technology in schools.

With the more complete and more accurate concept the nature of the computing environment necessary for successful schooling, which I intend to provide through this book, IT professionals will be better prepared to meet those needs. Educators will also benefit from this book by clarifying the nature of their IT needs and how these may be different from those that are familiar to IT professionals who are hired to work in your school.11872022-06-07T18:41:17Z2024-01-22T14:52:31ZOpening Eyes onto Inclusion and Diversity<img alt="Read more about Opening Eyes onto Inclusion and Diversity" title="Opening Eyes onto Inclusion and Diversity cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mzc0MCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--7cbec32ad3472a840a0ebc604070fcb2e1636822/cover-350x525.jpeg" />Susan Carter; Professor Lindy-Anne Abawi; Professor Jill Lawrence; Associate Professor Charlotte Brownlow; Renee Desmarchelier; Melissa Fanshawe; Kathryn Gilbey; Michelle Turner; and Jillian Guy11852022-06-04T13:28:01Z2024-01-22T14:52:31ZDress, Appearance, and Diversity in U.S. Society<img alt="Read more about Dress, Appearance, and Diversity in U.S. Society" title="Dress, Appearance, and Diversity in U.S. Society cover image" class="cover " width="768" height="994" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzczMywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--bb43967777e4665082c6d89b113c169932d51dee/klrb-cover-768x994.png" />This book introduces topics about identity, dress, and the body. Through the content, readers explore how individuals and communities use dress as a way to communicate (i.e. “negotiate” in fashion studies) their various identities. There is heightened attention to social justice, power, privilege, and oppression. That is, the content focuses on the experiences of historically marginalized communities and the ways they navigate dress and dressing their bodies in different contexts. In the first part of the book, readers are introduced to concepts and theories related to fashion, clothing, dress, and/or accessories. In the second part, readers examine the role that fashion, clothing, dress, and/or accessories play in identity development for individuals in marginalized communities in the United States.11802022-05-27T18:08:13Z2024-01-22T14:52:39ZPrinciples of Finance<img alt="Read more about Principles of Finance" title="Principles of Finance cover image" class="cover " width="816" height="1056" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzY5OSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--3bcdbff73bf151763a58ef0238c8f9c924fffc81/Screen%20Shot%202022-05-27%20at%201.06.18%20PM.png" />Designed to meet the scope and sequence of your course, Principles of Finance provides a strong foundation in financial applications using an innovative use-case approach to explore their role in business decision-making.
