Getting Over the Slump

Dr. James Paul Gee, the Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies at Arizona State University and a leading authority on literacy and the potential of educational games, is working with the Joan Ganz Cooney Center to develop a new policy framework to use digital technologies and different assessment techniques to avoid the “4th Grade Reading Slump." As part of this effort, Dr. Gee and the Cetner have published a paper titled Getting Over the Slump, which examines how conventional and "new" literacies can converge with emerging media to produce a powerful new learning equation that can stimulate both our early education system and our children's abilities to innovate and create.
