A Few Suggested Articles, Books, Etc.

Here are some essays/books on digital life that I've found extremely useful in thinking about my pedagogy for both online and classroom-based classes. The first two are books that can be found on Amazon. I'm including links to the rest:

Gary Small, iBrain: Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind.

Nicholas Carr, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains.

Nicholas Carr, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" (http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/07/is-google-making-us-stupid/6868/)

Craig Mod, "Books in the Age of the iPad" (http://craigmod.com/journal/ipad_and_books/)

Also, here are some fun short stories that touch on issues relevant to online pedagogy, digital life, virtuality, etc.:

Ray Bradbury, "The Veldt" (http://www.veddma.com/veddma/Veldt.htm)
