Shadows into Light is the fifth collection by American poet David Catterton Grantz and the first to be published by Wheelsong Books. It contains an eclectic brew of observations and introspections, sometimes flavoured with wry and humorous insights into the human condition and our interactions with our natural world, but always seasoned with authenticity and profundity. It is quite simply a collection that is filled with hauntingly beautiful poetry. Here's what the writing community has said about the poetry of David Catterton Grantz: Dave Grantz is an expected surprise, a familiar novelty, dependably unpredictable in form and content, style and mood - ever shifting his ideas and yours. Strap in and ride shotgun in whatever vehicle he's driving, to wherever it goes. He knows the way. - Ellis Ralph, wordsmith, singer-songwriter David Grantz writes with remarkable passion and scope. Of his own poetry, he relates, "Imagining myself in another's shoes is an essential aspect of what I do." Accordingly, Grantz's work allows him a radical fluidity of identity, a distilling of his sentient, compassionate sensibility. - Geoffrey Oelsner, Author of Attunements for the Earth. David Grantz's poetry appeals to my appetite for contemporary voices that resonate enlightenment in a world gone wrong. His wisdom bites with satire and irony, pulling no punches, taking no prisoners: His "... cyclones ever forming" are his way of saying, "I love you, but you have been warned." - Ken Haley, Poet, Artist With Shadows into Light, David Grantz has yet again produced remarkable and engaging collection, employing varying forms to entertain and challenge both the mind and soul. Complex, nuanced assessments from the torn heart society. - Gavin Prinsloo, Poet (The Soul Whisperer) Telescoping in on reality with vivid focus, David Grantz demonstrates his prowess as a seasoned, modern poet. - Matt Elmore, Author of Constellation Road, Admin of Invisible Poets When I go to my peaceful spots, I almost always take one of David's books with me. I never tire of his poems. - Steve Coger, Educator, Journalist

Move over Star Wars! This is a superb space opera... humans and hybrids and strange new creatures fighting for survival on Earth and across the galaxies. there is life everywhere throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. It takes forms that will astonish and frighten, that will challenge and terrify as they exist within the greater fight of existence: eat or be eaten. But to the crew of the frigate Basalt, those alien life forms that exist in the near vacuum of interplanetary space only serve to be of fascination in the crew's quest for knowledge. And there is a vicious conflict brewing as the Octopoids test the occupants of an outer planet of Humanity, in all its varied forms, probing and looking for the weaknesses of the marshalled forces. But who is the enemy really? 'Wheeler has crafted a world overflowing with technological realism, imaginative depth and rollicking adventure.' Dominion Post (NZ)

In an age where young people seem to have a natural affinity with smartphones, computer games and social media, teachers and lecturers face a big challenge - or a golden opportunity. How can new technology promote learning, engage students and motivate them to sustain a lifelong career in learning? For educators everywhere, our challenge is to take devices that have the potential for great distraction and boldly appropriate them as tools that can inspire and engage. On the back of Steve's hugely popular blog, also named 'Learning with 'e's', he shows how the world of learning is changing, and how new technology - and you and I - can make a difference. The proliferation of digital technologies and cultures is having a profound impact on learning, prompting questions which need answers. How will technology change our conceptions of learning? How will new ways of learning impact upon our uses of technology? How will teachers and lecturers' roles change; what will they need to know; and what will we see learners doing in the future? Grounded in his research and in pedagogical theory, Steve explores the practical ways in which technology is influencing how we learn, and looks toward emerging trends to examine what the future of learning may look like. Subjects covered include: learning with technology, theories for the digital age, digital literacies, pedagogical theories and practices, new and emerging technologies, new learning architectures, changing education, global educators, a 21st century curriculum. For teachers, lecturers, learning and development professionals and anybody who wants to be inspired by the new ways learning is being revolutionised through the use of new and emerging technologies.

Enable employees to harness the power of new and emerging learning technologies to improve staff development, productivity, engagement and knowledge retention.

Based on a major research project (the InterActive Project), this book explores and illustrates how digital technologies can transform learning across the curriculum. Using a wide range of educational settings, it helps practitioners think about, plan and execute effective learning in their classrooms and beyond.
