New media in K-12 schools

http://www.allacademic.com//meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/0/3/6/0/7/pages36075/p36075-1.php

This is an article discussing the pros and cons of new media taking hole in k-12 schools.

Textbook selections

These are the books I have selected:

What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy. Second Edition: Revised and Updated Edition by James Paul Gee

The Video Game Theory Reader by Mark J. P. Wolf

I chose these two books because they deal with things I am most interested in, video games. I always get up on my soap box to defend video games when people rally against them saying that they are a waist of time or that they create violence. I agree with what these works are highlighting and hope that by my readings I can broaden my opinion.

They should arrive within the next week.
