Krzos News Editor The door is swinging closed on chain restaurants on Sanibel. Tuesday, Sanibel City Council members made minor adjustments to an ordinance defining and banning chain restaurants. Council member Wally Kain, the ordinance's sponsor, said the purpose of the ban is to avoid "cookie-cut restaurants that will save Sanibel from crappy development" that lines the fringes of nearly every city in the country. Sanibel-Captiva Chamber of Commerce President David Besse said he agrees with the goal of the ordi- nance, "We know the value of the ambiance of this island," he said. "It should be protected and pre- served." Beachgoers should remember plenty of sunscreen, as the September sun can be vicious. But Besse said the ordinance is vague and certain words in the definition make the ordinance unclear. He said the best thing council could do was deny the ordinance, then immediately put together a citizens Harrity appointed to commission task force to develop an ordinance that everyone can agree upon.

On the Cover Village meeting during the mass movement to adjust land distribution Ten Mile Inn, Hebei Province This picture was taken by David Crook in March 1948 in the village of Ten Mile Inn, which was located in the Jin-Ji-Lu-Yu base area 275 miles southwest of Beijing. During a long village stay in 1947-1948, David and Isabel Crook observed the campaign to adjust an earlier round of land distribution. This photograph was taken at a village meeting conducted by a work team in Ten Mile Inn's temple courtyard. Isabel Crook writes, “The work team made a special point of getting the women to be active in the movement and pressed them to attend. The ones that came were mainly the young wives with their babies. They were not asked to sit separately but this was what tradition called for. Cottage weaving was one of the main cottage industries that supplemented income from farming. Young and middle-aged housewives wound the yarn and set up the frames to load the looms.” Gail Hershatter University of California, Santa Cruz AAS President Photograph by

  • Children and Adolescents
    CHAPTER 1 Children and Adolescents Unique Audiences Sometimes wise and disconcertingly like adults, children are nonetheless children. To the wonder, joy, and vexation of adults, they are different. As they grow older, they become increasingly like us and therefore intelligible to us, but at each age or stage of development there is something for adults to learn more about, to be amused by, and to adjust to. —Professor Aimee Dorr Television and Children: A Special Medium for a Special Audience (1986, p. 12) Over the past twenty or thirty years, the status of childhood and our assumptions about it have become more and more unstable. The distinctions between children and other categories—“youth” or “adults”—have become ever more difficult to sustain. —Professor David Buckingham After the Death of Childhood: Growing Up in the Age of Electronic Media (2000, p. 77) Children and young people are a distinctive and significant cultural grouping in their own right—a sizeable market share, a subculture even, and one which often “leads the way” in the use of new media. —Professor Sonia Livingstone Young People and New Media: Childhood and the Changing Media Environment (2002, p. 3) 1 2 CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND THE MEDIA Unlike the children of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, whose media choices were limited and stood out like isolated, familiar landmarks in communal life, kids today inhabit an environment saturated and shaped by a complex “mediascape” that envelops and bombards them day and night. —James P.

Haddad Department of Conservation Science, Queen Rania's Faculty of Tourism and Heritage, Hashemite University, Zarqa, Jordan. [email protected] Abstract: Unfortunately, heritage education and awareness remains largely undervalued, as most efforts rely on in-person experiences in formal cultural institutions. While there have been many virtual applications in the field of heritage edutainment with multimedia technology, there are still not enough to make the required and hoped-for change for the children of the digital natives’ generation. However, with the rich resources in 3D imaging and interactive programming already at our disposal, we are well prepared to do so, given a coordinated effort. This paper deals with a key topic that has an importance at the international level: the education of children through the conceptual approach of "edutainment" and "serious games" and particularly focuses on the cultural heritage, considering its tangible and intangible aspects. The paper attempts to clarify, explore and investigate how heritage edutainment multimedia, which bring enjoyment, fun, play and discovery into children’s daily lives, can make a significant contribution to their understanding, curiosity and appreciation of the cultural heritage. The paper also proposes some ideas and storylines for project development, especially for a methodological approach to serious games, which if appropriately planned, can be as entertaining as they are intellectually challenging to young children.
