Description:
WestEd conducted a classroom-based study during the summer of 2014 for the CPB-PBS Ready To Learn Initiative in order to investigate children's relatively unmediated use of the Curious George's Busy Day transmedia suite (digital games, hands-on learning activities, and video episodes) in supporting preschool children's mathematics learning in the classroom environment. The intervention involved a blended learning experience that took place at learning stations in the preschool classroom. The current study explored the effectiveness of the Curious George's Busy Day transmedia suite in supporting preschool children's mathematics learning in the preschool classroom environment. In addition, the study examined the affordances -- that is, features and advantages -- of transmedia-based learning in the preschool classroom. (author abstract)
