What I am reading this week:
This week I found another Taiwanese study about the effects of e-learning on Junior High school students who were tested on their technology learning attitudes and outcomes.  It turned out positively for the students’ learning outcomes.  Taiwan is doing a lot of study about e-learning.
I also found an interesting British study about e-book learning with 4th and 5th graders who used books on computers to learn vocabulary.  Some did well and others didn’t, it was an interesting study that I plan to research further on, especially since my e-book centers on younger students.
An interesting study of Taiwanese Junior High students in a science e-program is the subject of this next paper.  The study included a live satellite simulation where students interpreted images and data.  The study revealed a more positive attitude toward science especially in males.
I found an excellent article by John Warren on the innovation and future of e-books.  This is of complete relevance to my AR projects, since I have written an e-book, and his discussion about the acceptance of e-books is fascinating.  A must read article!
The next article I started reading is about environmental education in Chinese elementary schools, which centers around a local pond environment.  This is quite interesting to me as my e-book also centers on a local pond.
