Paperback. Condition: Good. This splendid book displays the fabric of a wonderful creative collaboration. Bettye Kimbrell told Joyce Cauthen her life story, and Joyce shaped it for us in book form - but still told in Bettye's own voice. Bettye's story provides a broad portrait of life in rural West Alabama. The characters flashing by make for a variegated kaleidoscope: self-destructive and damaging folly and irresponsibility mix unpredictably with creative resourcefulness in making do and generosity toward kin and neighbors. The net result is often painful, often inspiring, but always true to life as Bettye Kimbrell sees it. In the second half of the book a new story line gradually emerges. Bettye had learned quilting from her stern grandmother, who raised her when her parents could not or would not. That skill was set aside for many years while she struggled to survive and raise a family in the midst of every imaginable adversity. Then quilting sprang up again in the later decades of Bettye's life, providing the creative lodestar by which she reinvented her life. If quiet suffering while managing life's vicissitudes dominates her early decades, quiet achievement, growing self-confidence, and public acclaim come to dominate the later decades. As her life shaped her art, simultaneously her art reshaped her life. -Alan Jabbour, Former Director (Retired), American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington DC; author (with Karen Singer Jabbour) of Decoration Day in the Mountains: Traditions of Cemetery Decoration in the Southern Appalachians.…

It highlights consumerization as the act of making something desirable and consumable by the individual. If schools fully discover and adapt to consumerization's ingenuity, it has the power to give teachers back time spent custom building every digital resource themselves--time that can now be turned to attention on students, to create more hands-on learning activities, and to guide students in the fullness of a digital learning experience. Read this book and be part of the discussion about how schools are finding a new relevancy at the natural end-point of digital transition: maximized live experience and quality digital learning, also known as expo education. Leaders in Education Praise The Consumerization of Learning The creators of Amazon know the future of retail is direct to consumer. The founders of Uber know the future of transportation is on-demand. The visionary at Tesla understands that the future of energy creation and storage is distributed. LeiLani Cauthen knows the future of Education shares all three of these characteristics. In The Consumerization of Learning she shares her expansive knowledge of what it all means. -Erik Heinrich Former IT Director, San Francisco Unified School District A breath of fresh air - it is a thought-provoking, visionary book that every educator, teacher, administrator and parent must read. Change, as LeiLani describes it, is absolutely happening. Educators can join in. or be left behind. - Dr. Elliot Soloway School of Education, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor LeiLani has been asking essential questions as she investigates the educational system across the United States. In approaching trends and gaps from a business lens, she is able to highlight areas that may seem obvious after she points them out but may have gone largely unnoticed or unconsidered from an education focused lens. In the three years of knowing LeiLani, I've gained new insight and perspective shifts, learned about broader trends, gaps and predictions for future movement in digital content and strategy, and been able to fit together puzzle pieces I didn't know I was missing before. She has a forward thinking vision for the future of education, paradigm shifts, organizational shifts, with students at the center. - Dr. Michelle Zimmerman 2016 NCCE Outstanding Technology Educator of the Year, Microsoft Innovative Education Expert at Microsoft Education Teacher/Researcher, Renton Preparatory Academy.…
