    A broad treatment of computer and video games from a wide range of perspectives, including cognitive science and artificial intelligence, psychology, history, film and theater, cultural studies, and philosophy.

    New media students, teachers, and professionals have long needed a comprehensive scholarly treatment of digital games that deals with the history, design, reception, and aesthetics of games along with their social and cultural context. The Handbook of Computer Game Studies fills this need with a definitive look at the subject from a broad range of perspectives. Contributors come from cognitive science and artificial intelligence, developmental, social, and clinical psychology, history, film, theater, and literary studies, cultural studies, and philosophy as well as game design and development. The text includes both scholarly articles and journalism from such well-known voices as Douglas Rushkoff, Sherry Turkle, Henry Jenkins, Katie Salen, Eric Zimmerman, and others.

Her more recent projects investigate scaling and innovation in the charter school field, the role of philanthropy in shaping educational innovation, and conditions that foster learning and distributed leadership in organizations. Current Research:  Debra Meyerson conducts research in five areas: a) gender and race relations in organizations, specifically individual and organizational strategies of change aimed at removing inequities and fostering productive inter-group relations; b) the role of philanthropic organizations as intermediaries in fostering change within educational institutions; c) leadership and entrepreneurship in education; d)going to scale in the charter school field; and e)accessibility and the construction (and destruction) of work-life boundaries through communication technologies.

    Scaling Up a Video Game-Learning Link Isn't it time we leveled up? By Michael H. Levine & Alan Gershenfeld At an event at the White House in September, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced the establishment of the Digital Promise , a nonprofit initiative created to promote digital technologies with the potential to transform teaching and learning. Experts on digital media and learning cheered this latest signal that robust experimentation with technology based on rigorous research and development would take a more prominent place in the national education reform debate. In tandem with the Digital Promise rollout, our organizations-the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and E-Line Media-announced the second year of the National STEM Video Game Challenge . This video-game-design competition is intended to motivate interest in science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM, learning among America's young people by tapping into students' natural passion for playing and making video games. Why games? Are video games really a key element of an untapped "digital promise"? We believe the answer is yes. But we are also acutely aware that realizing this promise will take a concentrated effort by dedicated scientists, game designers, teachers, supervisors, educational publishers,...

Harvard deans urge renewing civic education | Harvard Magazine Mar-Apr 2012 - 0 views

  • What strikes us about these passages is not their antiquity, but their wisdom. Today, many Americans have lost pride in their government. At a time when universities trumpet their place in the world—and within Facebook—but say little about their place in the Republic, these calls to educate citizens who will sustain the nation have new and vital meaning. It is time to reimagine higher education’s civic mission.
  • They are positioned not only to foster innovation, which is essential to national prosperity, but also to teach the public responsibilities associated with invention and entrepreneurship.
  • Its antiauthoritarian agenda and tactics notwithstanding, the student movement sought to reassert the educational importance of common values and social mission.

  • “A Republic, if you can keep it,” as Benjamin Franklin described our form of government, will not persist through momentum alone.
  • We see civic education as the cultivation of knowledge and traits that sustain democratic self-governance. The synergistic components of civic education in American colleges and universities are a tripod of intellect, morality, and action, all grounded in a knowledge base of American history and constitutional principles.
  • Civic education cannot flourish if intellect is privileged over morality and action, as is usual today.
  • As science either marginalized or helped transform other subjects, citizens’ responsibilities for the public good were squeezed out of the mission of higher education. Moral philosophy became a marginal

  • Service learning flourished
  • A student volunteering at a soup kitchen…very much enjoyed the experience and felt that it had made him a better person. Without thinking through the implications of his statement, he said, “I hope it is still around when my children are in college, so they can work here, too.”Finding a Way Forward
  • Instead of a prescription, we offer a framework for conversation about the intertwined roles of intellect, morality, and action.
  • civic education needs to be spread across the curriculum.
  • transgressions are likely to be treated legalistically, rather than as teachable moments.
  • Action. Civic learning is about the effect of human decisions on other people and on society at large.
  • Integrate civic education into core requirements and concentrations or majors.

After 244 Years, Encyclopaedia Britannica Stops the Presses - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • In an acknowledgment of the realities of the digital age — and of competition from the Web site Wikipedia — Encyclopaedia Britannica will focus primarily on its online encyclopedias and educational curriculum for schools. The last print version is the 32-volume 2010 edition, which weighs 129 pounds and includes new entries on global warming and the Human Genome Project.
  • Since it was started 11 years ago, Wikipedia has moved a long way toward replacing the authority of experts with the wisdom of the crowds. The site is now written and edited by tens of thousands of contributors around the world, and it has been gradually accepted as a largely accurate and comprehensive source, even by many scholars and academics.
  • The Britannica, the oldest continuously published encyclopedia in the English language, has become a luxury item with a $1,395 price tag
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Only 8,000 sets of the 2010 edition have been sold, and the remaining 4,000 have been stored in a warehouse until they are bought.
  • Gary Marchionini, the dean of the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said the fading of print encyclopedias was “an inexorable trend that will continue.”“There’s more comprehensive material available on the Web,” Mr. Marchionini said. “The thing that you get from an encyclopedia is one of the best scholars in the world writing a description of that phenomenon or that object, but you’re still getting just one point of view. Anything worth discussing in life is worth getting more than one point of view.”
