Children's Learning in a Digital World
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Dec 2007, Pages: 320
'Playing computer video games can be just what you need to get a job.' Could such a statement ever be true? Computer games, software, and networking technologies are often viewed as threats to the social, emotional, and physical well being and development of children. However, such beliefs are often unfounded. This new collection of research presents a range of research on topics from the impact of ultra-violent video games on children and youth who participate in entertainment violence, to the benefits these technologies have to offer. Video games, computers, and the Internet can provide opportunities for problem solving, creativity, and autonomy, and in particular, carefully constructed software can offer an alternative to traditional classroom learning.'Children's Learning in a Digital World' is one of the first books to examine the impact of computers in both formal or school learning environments and informal learning contexts. It presents exciting and challenging new ideas from international scholars on the impact of computers, the Internet, and video games on children's learning, as well as the social and cultural issues that affect technology use.
