Publisher's Synopsis
Gaming is now an important media studies issue, yet there has to date been very little material available for teachers to use in the classroom. Dave Harrison, a media teacher and former gaming journalist, has written the ideal introduction to the topic for educators. Covering the history of videogames from Pong to Angry Birds and offering in-depth coverage of game genres, audiences, marketing, and promotion as well as including ideas for classroom work and discussion, Gaming aims to make the delivery of this topic accessible to all.
