A violent volcanic explosion immediately and forever alters the landscape. Elsewhere, raindrops gradually pick patterns out of the rock over the course of thousands of years.

"Branches of Power lets you play all three branches of government, collectively charged with a critical goal: to build new laws! As President, choose issues you think are important and rally the people around them. As a legislator, craft bills around your constituents' values. As a Justice, uphold the law or strike down unconstitutional legislation. Only through using all three branches cooperatively can you construct towering laws upon the issue foundations that dot the landscape." via http://ilearntechnology.com/?p=2672

"I think that the interface of [the] iPad could work well for young children because it maps onto how kids already do things in their daily life," he said. "Sweeping things across the screen fits exactly with how very young children behave and think."

Among secondary teachers, social studies teachers were most likely to be frequent technology users (33 percent), while English teachers were least likely (16 percent)." -via Jennifer Dorman
