VERY Useful= O.k. I don't know where this 'World's Largest Online Library' has been, but it's very useful. While looking for a related subject, "Media Violence and it's Impact on Education', I found this like. WOW!

Now that I've mentioned it to a few of my collegues, they look at me like 'where have you been... duh!?'. Well, I've found it now. The only downside is that it's a subscription service, but, we pay for cable don't we?

The Impact of Media and Technology in Schools

Not as Useful= A first glance this is a very useful piece of research by Thomas C. Reeves, Ph.D. As I read it the usefulness to this set of research is minimal, but not marginal. It's benefit is that from an educators viewpoint and it has a good research design.

It's only minimally beneficial in that it doesn't raise many new questions. It doesn't offer any really compelling support to any of the exsisting articles I've come across so far.

I will keep it for my lit review as it has a place in my research.

Culture Without Class

Useful= This was a useful site as it relates the importance of the impact of media in a society. Author Kato Hidetoshi uses a character that is widely known to show how the story structure aids in allowing the character to become popular. In fact the 'Mito Komon' character is a social icon.

Hidetoshi points out that story structure and classification is also important. The 'Mito Komon', while a popular t.v. program, has it's roots in 17th century history. THe program is a 'typical period drama' and it follows a fairly standard plotline. It's the very simple structure that appeals to the masses and contributes to it's popularity. It's that very popularity that allows common values and cultural perspective to be understood by multiple generations.

Understanding The Impact of Media on Children and Teens

This site is a very helpful. It's a site backed by the 'American Academy
of Pediatrics'. The 'Academy' recognizes that children learn
from images they see on t.v. and fiilm, and what they hear on the
radio. The Academy also recognizes the power and immediacy of the
messages. They also indicate that some of the outcomes are a result of
repeated exposure to certain messages such as:

• conflict resolution


• use alcohol and cigarettes are seen as acceptable and attractive
  behaviors


• sex and violence don't have negative consequences

The Media Education Basics were very useful:

• People create media messages.
  Some has to decide what goes into the message, text and pictures, and
  what to delte.


• Each media has a distinct
  language and strength. When children learn the techniques, they
  go from passive victims to educated comsumers


• Each person receives and filters
  the messages differently. Each person has filters of age,
  culture, prior experience, values, and education to inter[ret and
  process the message.


• Media messages values and points
  of view. Children and their parents can learn that they have a
  choice of accepting the values and messages sent throught the Media
