Callaghan, M. N.; Long, J. J.; van Es, E. A.; Reich, S. M.; Rutherford, T. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
As more attention is placed on designing digital educational games to align with schools' academic aims (e.g., Common Core), questions arise regarding how professional development (PD) may support teachers' using games for instruction and how such integration might impact students' achievement. This study seeks to (a) understand how teachers use…

Van de Sande, E.; Segers, E.; Verhoeven, L. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2016
The present study examined how embedded activities to support executive functions helped children to benefit from a computer intervention that targeted preliteracy skills. Three intervention groups were compared on their preliteracy gains in a randomized controlled trial design: an experimental group that worked with software to stimulate early…
