Reading List
1. Fabricating Europe: The Formation of an Education Space: We can look at this book's discussion of how the European educational "space" (they use the same terminology we are using) is limited by politics and historical precident.
2. Inventing Better Schools: An ction Plan for Educational Reform: This book is fairly recent (1997) and discusses educador's need to adapt to a new information economy. This might cover the needs that education is not fulfiling.
3. Children and their Environments: Learning, Using, and Designing Spaces: This seems to talk about the acual designing of spaces that give children optimal learning environments.
4. Creating Effective Learning environments: This book is specifically directed at childhood educators. It suggests the utilization of play time and creativity in a child's education.
5. Researching Children's popular culture: The cultural spaces of childhood: I think we all need to look at this in order to understand the environment that is shaping children's education today, which includes a surplus of information that was not available to children when we were growing up.
6. Studies in Educational Learning Environments: An international perspective. This discusses the "remarkable growth, diversitifcation, and internationalism during the past 30 years" (Fraser)
7. Cyber Spaces/ Social Spaces: Culture Clash in Computerized Classrooms: We can use this when looking at the internet as an educational space.
8. Wired Up (Media, Education, and Culture
9. Media, Education, and America's COunter Culture Revolution: Lost and Found Opportunities for Media Impact on Education, Gender, Race, and the Arts. (Obviously the part that I am interested here is the study of Media's impact on education)
10. Media Reception Studies: This book looks at how different listeners understand certain things about the messages they are recieving. This can be applied to the classroom and how students recieve information there.
11. Theoretical Foundations of Learning Environments: David H Jonassen, Susan Land
