PENSIERO PRESS PUBLISHES LANDMARK BOOK ON INTEGRATING THE BLOG INTO ADULT EDUCATION
Posted: Dec 5, 2012 @ 4:39pm

December 5, 2012, Las Vegas, NV—As university professors, we seem to find ourselves having the same conversation with different students time and time again. What if we could leverage our time and clone ourselves? What if we could be available to our students whenever and wherever they wanted us, virtually?

Technology offers such a solution with the creation of the blog. Think of the blog as technology that tutors 24/7. Welcome to the world of the blog where some of our efforts as a professor are now scalable. Learn how you can create a video (with transcript), embed on your blog, and simply provide the link to your students as the need or topic may arise in class discussions.

Please join Dr. Cheryl Lentz on this journey as she offers a path to shorten your learning curve with increased efficiency in teaching methods as we look to the blog with 7 ways to save time by using the blog as a teaching tool. As a bonus, Dr. Lentz offers her recommendations for useful plugins to enhance the look and functionality of your blog!
***This book is currently available in e-Book format only.

• Dr. Barbara Welcher expands on the impact of four generations working together in the current workforce.

• Dr. Emad Rahim, Dr. Vishakha Maskey, and Dr. Darrell Norman Burrell offer expertise regarding innovative and emerging leadership approaches and organizational strategies that foster corporate social responsibility.

• Dr. Christi Sanders and Dr. Michael Millstone discover implications for the impending Baby Boomer mass exodus.

• Dr. Julie M. Ducharme and Dr. Sheila Embry examine social responsibility in federal employees and public instructors.

• Dr. Dustin Pawlak explores the social responsibilities of elite athletes in relation to PES use.

Dr. Cheryl Lentz, managing editor of The Lentz Leadership Institute, explains the unique benefits of the document for readers. “It celebrates the diffusion of innovative refractive thinking through the writings of these doctoral scholars as they dare to think differently in search of new applications and understandings of social responsibility," she says. “Unlike most academic books that merely define research, The Refractive Thinker® offers unique applications of research methodologies from the perspective of multiple authors—each offering a chapter based on their specific expertise.”

The Refractive Thinker® series meets the publishing needs of doctoral scholars while collaboratively sharing the expense and promotion. The goal is to help scholars with the lack of affordable publishing avenues to meet university peer reviewed standards while supporting the great need for dynamic dialogue and innovation.
