Jeder hat es, jeder macht es, jeder liest es. Ganz klar, wovon die Rede ist. Facebook! Doch wer liest ein Buch im Facebook-Format? Man kann sich es wie ein Tagebuchroman vorstellen. Ein Tagebuch, das andere lesen können und ihren Senf dazu als Kommentar abgeben können. Das wichtigste jedoch ist, dass es trotzdem wie eine Story zu lesen ist. Es geht um die Themen Liebe, Stress und das Leben allgemein. Wenn Eltern sich scheiden lassen und man selbst noch Kind ist, wünscht man sich nichts sehnlicher, als älter zu sein, um sein eigenes Leben zu leben. Doch was, wenn genau das passiert?

Auf einer unbewohnten Insel müssen die Freunde schließlich zeigen, was in ihnen steckt. Dabei werden sie von ihren Tieren tatkräftig unterstützt.

During the past twenty-five years, researchers have made impressive advances in pinpointing effective learning strategies (i.e., activities the learner engages in during learning that are intended to improve learning). In Learning as a Generative Activity: Eight Learning Strategies That Promote Understanding, Logan Fiorella and Richard E. Mayer share eight evidence-based learning strategies that promote understanding: summarizing, mapping, drawing, imagining, self-testing, self-explaining, teaching, and enacting. Each chapter describes and exemplifies a learning strategy, examines the underlying cognitive theory, evaluates strategy effectiveness by analyzing the latest research, pinpoints boundary conditions, and explores practical implications and future directions. Each learning strategy targets generative learning, in which learners actively make sense out of the material so they can apply their learning to new situations. This concise, accessible introduction to learning strategies will benefit students, researchers, and practitioners in educational psychology, as well as general readers interested in the important twenty-first-century skill of regulating one's own learning.

Many strong claims are made for the educational value of computer games, but there is a need for systematic examination of the research evidence that might support such claims. This book fills that need by providing a comprehensive and up-to-date investigation of what research shows about learning with computer games. Computer Games for Learning describes three genres of game research: the value-added approach, which compares the learning outcomes of students who learn with a base version of a game to those of students who learn with the base version plus an additional feature; the cognitive consequences approach, which compares learning outcomes of students who play an off-the-shelf computer game for extended periods to those of students who do not; and the media comparative approach, which compares that learning outcomes of students who learn material by playing a game to those of students who learn the same material by using conventional media. After introductory chapters that describe the rationale and goals of learning-game research as well as the relevance of cognitive science to learning with games, the book offers examples of research in all three genres conducted by the author and his colleagues at the University of California, Santa Barbara; meta-analyses of published research; and suggestions for future research in the field. The book is essential reading for researchers and students of educational games, instructional designers, learning-game developers, and anyone who wants to know what the research has to say about the educational effectiveness of computer games. -- from dust jacket
