RESEARCH 

Evaluations on the programs are conducted frequently, and changes are made accordingly. This reflective process has been published as journal articles, research reports, and books. These publications share with readers the success and lessons I learned in teaching media literacy, and ideas for them to use in their own teaching. Please click on the links to view examples:

• Example Twenty-Two – Local newspaper report about the books I wrote on media literacy, Dec. 2, 2007.

• Example Twenty-Three – It shows all my media literacy related publications, grants, etc. in the past years.

• Example Twenty-Four -- The study shows that young people are developing a more lax attitude toward cheating online, thus it is important for teachers to address this issue and develop strategies to deal with digital plagiarism.

• Example Twenty-Five – A special issue of Theory Into Practice: New Media and Education in the 21st Century featuring articles on all principles of media literacy. I was a guest-editor of this issue.

• Example Twenty-Six -- Both China and USA have the most media and Internet users in the world, but neither country has formal media literacy education in the school curriculum. This study suggests both countries need to implement media literacy education.

• Example Twenty-Seven -- This study assesses the effectiveness of FM Magic, a web-based multimedia English program that teaches EFL in a Japanese university.

• Example Twenty-Eight – An article about PBS children’s program and its use in getting young children ready for school published in the early years of my media literacy studies.

• Example Twenty-Nine – A study evaluating the assignment, multimedia children’s books created by students enrolled in a language arts method class.
