Forty years after Joan Ganz Cooney's landmark study stimulated the creation of Sesame Street, Sesame Workshop has established a new center devoted to accelerating children's learning in a rapidly changing world. The Joan Ganz Cooney Center will focus new attention on the challenges children face today, asking the 21st century equivalent of her original question, "How can emerging media help children learn?"
These studies are worth looking at:
Pockets of Potential -- Examining over 25 handheld learning products and research projects in the U.S. and abroad, the report highlights early evidence of how these devices can help revolutionize teaching and learning.
The Power of POW! Wham!: Children, Digital Media and Our Nation's Future -- this paper specifically deals with digital technologies and elementary school students.
Getting Over the Slump: Innovation Strategies to Promote Children's Learning -- this report deals with using media technologies to help 4th grade students get over the reading slump.
