I received this book from my school and later subscribed to Mr. Sturtevant's Hacking Engagement podcast. His approach to teaching is full of excitement but he also understands the limitations of an educator's life. The 50 tools aren't given with an air of superiority but with experience. They're easy to read (600 words) and you can dip in and out as you want. It's more of a resource book than a theoretical treatise on engagement.

It's not bad, it's just not as novel as I had hoped. As a teacher of close on 20yrs I'm always on the lookout for ideas to spice things up. Whilst this book does have ideas, I found lots I either am already aware of or did not find overly useful.
Nothing against the author at all who I commend for doing the best by his students and trying to assist others to do the same.

I really enjoyed getting many new ideas from this book, so much that I will probably buy the first one so I can learn more ideas. I don't think that education has to stay the same as it has always been. I think we can change how we approach ideas and find interesting ways to engage students.

50 ideas to engage students. A number of the ideas are sound and could definitely enhance the classroom. A worthwhile read for all educators.
