Something happens in students when they define themselves as makers and inventors and creators. They discover powerful skills-problem-solving, critical thinking, and imagination-that will help them shape the world's future ... our future. If that's true, why isn't creativity a priority in more schools today? Educators John Spencer and A.J. Juliani know firsthand the challenges teachers face every day: School can be busy. Materials can be scarce. The creative process can seem confusing. Curriculum requirements can feel limiting. Those challenges too often bully creativity, pushing it to the side as an "enrichment activity" that gets put off or squeezed into the tiniest time block. We can do better. We must do better if we're going to prepare students for their future. LAUNCH: Using Design Thinking to Boost Creativity and Bring Out the Maker in Every Student provides a process that can be incorporated into every class at every grade level ... even if you don't consider yourself a "creative teacher." And if you dare to innovate and view creativity as an essential skill, you will empower your students to change the world-starting right now.

The Salty Cee

More salty than the Dead Sea The Salty Cee is an online Christian News Satire website that doesn't take itself too seriously. This volume contains more than 40 of their best-loved articles that poke fun at Christian culture and celebrities, including: Move of God turns out to be indigestion Joel Osteen's Freshly Polished Teeth Glow Mistaken for Shekinah Glory K-Love Extends Playlist Rotation to Ten Songs! New Church Encourages Vaping to Mimic Glory Cloud St Paul's gardening accident leads to thorn in the flesh Seventh Day Adventist Chick-Fil-A Franchise: Sunday Hours Offered In addition, they've added biblical personal ads, predestin-o-scopes for Calvinists, gossip prayer requests, Christian puzzles and much less! By the law of averages, you're sure to find something that eventually makes you laugh. The Salty Cee; where even the worst satire floats The Salty Cee was started by John Spencer together with a bunch of other Christian Anon Twitter users who got bored of the Babylon Bee ignoring our submissions and thought, "why should they have all the fun?" However, we soon discovered that calling ourselves the Babylon Cee got their attention, well their lawyer's attention to be precise, in a rather unwanted way. This was probably the most excitement in Christendom over one letter since the First Council of Nicaea in 325. A quick name change and we were back, saltier than ever and trying to bring a little cheer to our corner of the interweb thingy.

The Best of the Salty Cee Volume 1

JOHN SPENCER'S NAME IS SYNONYMOUS WITH the halcyon days of snooker in this country. Along with his friend and rival Ray Reardon, he helped to popularise the sport to such an extent that in the 1970s it became one of the UK's top televised sports, attracting millions of viewers for the major championships. Spencer was born into a poor working class family in Radcliffe, Manchester on June 18, 1935 with the country still suffering the aftermath of the economic slumps of the 1920s and 30s and plunging headlong into the Second World War. As a youngster, he spent his formative years growing up in the shadow of the conflict. At the age of 15 he took up snooker, a game for which he had a rare gift, and was soon making century-plus breaks, but his National Service intervened and he gave up the game for over ten years. His appetite for snooker never diminished however, and in 1963 he entered the English Amateur Championships, reaching the final before being beaten by Reardon. He was runner-up again the following year before finally claiming the title in 1966 by beating Marcus Owen. he lost to Marcus's brother Gary in the final. Gary Owen, Reardon and Spencer then turned professional, the first new professionals in the sport since 1951, marking the beginning of the modern era for snooker. At the 1969 World Championships Spencer gained his revenge on Owen to win the first of his three World titles and begin a domination of the sport by himself and Reardon that was to last the best part of a decade. Reardon triumphed over Spencer in the 1970 semi-finals, but Spencer was to claim his title back by beating Warren Simpson the following November in Australia in what were the de facto 1971 championships. Beaten by Alex Higgins in the 1972 final, he did not claim his third and last World title until 1977, when he won the inaugural event at the Crucible, a place which has since become the home of the World Championship. However, during this period he won several other tournaments, including the Norwich Union Open Championship (twice), the Benson and Hedges Masters and the Benson and Hedges Irish Master. Black which catapulted him into the nation's consciousness. He won the Pot Black title on no less than three occasions, in 1970, 1971 and 1976, and his celebrity status was assured. Double vision affected his play by the end of the 1970s and he won his final title, the Holsten Lager International, in 1979, although he did reach the quarterfinals of the British Open in 1987. He became a popular broadcaster noted for his intelligent commentary and dry wit, and, moreover, his popularity within the sport saw him spend six years as chairman of the sport's governing body, the WPBSA, from 1990. But perhaps the defining moment in Spencer's life occurred on May 9, 1985 at the Pontins tournament in Prestatyn when the double vision problems, which he had been experiencing sporadically for the best part of ten years, became much worse. He was diagnosed with the rare condition Myasthenia Gravis and it is a condition with which he has to live with for the rest of his life. with Myasthenia Gravis, his early life of poverty in wartime Manchester, his magnificent snooker career and his memories of the men who he played alongside. A rare glimpse of a golden era in British sport is accompanied by Spencer's observations on the way the game has developed since his retirement. Painfully honest, funny and, at times, sad - this is the account one man's journey from greatness through to the unknown and the brink of tragedy.
