NYTimes: “Using Video Games as Bait to Hook Readers”
Filed at 8:00 am on October 8, 2008 in Civic Engagement, Games • Leave a comment
Earlier this week, the New York Times published an article on work by publishers, authors and libraries to embrace video games in order to promote books to younger readers.
For those who want to read more about MacArthur-supported projects and people that were mentioned in the article, here are a few quick links:
- Last month’s survey findings on “Teens, Games and Civics” from Pew Internet and American Life Project and the Civic Engagement Research Group at Mills College. (See also my blog post from when the survey launched.)
- James Paul Gee – a games researcher and author of “What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy.”
- Constance Steinkuehler—an assistant professor in the school of education at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
