It was a pleasure talking to you today.

The strategies we used were:

From the Intranet, click on LibGuides. On the LibGuides home page, in the middle column, click on Advanced Education Research. If you want to skip the intranet or bookmark the page, the direct link to the Advanced Education Research LibGuide is http://libguides.brenau.edu/grad-ed .

We clicked on the Middle Grades tab. First we scrolled down to the Journals, and chose the Middle School Journal. To login, we entered your Brenau username and password.

After clicking Middle School Journal, we searched using the term "video games". Be sure to use the quotation marks, because they focus your search results.

I also went back to the Middle Grades tab of the Advanced Education Research LibGuide and clicked on Academic Search Complete. This is a multidisciplinary database that is strong in the education literature. Because the database is so large (compared to searching a single middle school journal), I searched using the terms "video games" AND mathematics. If you paste the search into the box, you will retrieve 89 articles. Among these, this research study looked particularly promising:
