This volume brings together conceptualizations and empirical
studies that explore the socio-cultural dimension of new media and
its implications on learning in the 21st century classroom. The
authors articulate their vision of new-media-enhanced learning at a
global level. The high-level concept is then re-examined for
different degrees of contextualization and localization, for
example how a specific form of new media (e-reader) changes
specific activities in different cultures. In addition, studies
based in Singapore classrooms provide insights as to how these
concepts are being transformed and implemented by a co-constructive
effort on the part of researchers, teachers and students. Singapore
classrooms offer a unique environment to study the theory-practice
nexus in that they are high achieving, implicitly grounded in the
eastern cultural values and well-equipped with ICT infrastructure.
While these studies are arguably the state-of-the-art exemplars
that synergize socio-cultural and technological affordances of the
current learning environments, they also serve as improvable ideas
for further innovations. The interplay between theory and practice
lends support to the reciprocal improvements for both. This book
contributes to the continuing debate in the field, and will lead to
better learning environments in the 21st century.

A long short story and a collection of old and recent writings
reflecting his education in the U.S. and England, and his coverage
of many events in New York, including some for The New Yorker's
Talk of the Town.
Unintended Results: New Chapters in an Ongoing Story contains about
37 pieces of writing and a running commentary that bring the
author's story up to date from the printing and distribution of his
The Age of Illusion: Some Writings and a Memoir (1999). It presents
views on some of the events of these years, including September 11,
2001, and the war in Iraq. The book has many details that have not
appeared on the author's Web page, including a fragment, "In the
New Payne Whitney Clinic, July 13, 2003"; a short story, "Susan
Will Adopt"; and two "poems."
"Willingly Published: More Papers to 2005" is the fourth published
volume of Victor Chen's papers, after "The Age of Illusion: Some
Writings and a Memoir, Unintended Results: New Chapters in an
Ongoing Story, " and "Lines in the Dirt: Some Works of 1978-2004."
This volume includes an index of titles of pieces from all four
volumes. The volume also includes essays and articles, poems,
stories, letters, and court documents, which, like the papers in
the other volumes, throw light on history, science, and language. A
memory of the 1969 'moon landing," a poem called 'A Brief Ode on an
'Historian' with No Published Books," and an amended complaint
against Bellevue Hospital in New York are among the papers in this
fourth volume.
