Upsy Daisy Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I've been writing an essay and just gone to sort out the Harvard references (nightmare starts). I have one quote which is; playing games “can encourage successful learning and increase self esteem” (Briggs and Davis, pg 99). I can't remember where I got this from. I've checked all my books and downloaded documents, looked on Amazon and Google and poured through my tutorial notes - nothing. Does anyone recognise the names? Or, failing that, does anyone have another quote I can use which says the same thing? I'm getting very pushed for time and beginning to panic a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) Dorothy Briggs wrote Your Child's Life: a Guide to his self-esteem (Doubleday 1970) Does that ring any bells? If you Google her name it comes up with 7 other titles - perhaps 1 will "jump out" at you. Good Luck! Nona Edited January 5, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam2368 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=hMRJNQA...+Davis&cd=1 is it this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam2368 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) I went onto google scholar then google books, put in Briggs and Davis and this was the first optin. It is maths you're doing isn't it? there also a 2008 version at anglia library but i can't look inside because it isn't an e-book.

Upsy Daisy Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) That's the one, sam2368! I can't find it because I had to give it back to the library. It all makes sense now. I don't know why I couldn't find it on Google. Perhaps I typed it in wrong Thank you all so much. I just LOVE this forum! I can finish it off now Edited January 5, 2010 by Upsy Daisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I don't know why I couldn't find it on Google. Perhaps I typed it in wrong Google doesn't always have a preview copy of the book! No operator error there, I should say! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
