This was a difficult newsletter to write this week because I am torn. This week there was one item in the news that created a "Wow, that is so cool." and an "Oh my gosh, that is so scary." moment for me. So, my questions for you this week are: 1. How do you feel about a computer winning against humans in an intellectual game like Jeopardy? 2. What do you think this technology will mean for teaching and learning during your lifetime?

"Stu's Quiz Boxes (for Windows) might remind people of the TV gameshow, Jeopardy!, but it's not that, it's much better than that. You can use it to make an exciting, interactive and educational computer-based gameshow available to everybody. It can be used in so many different situations - in schools and colleges, at conferences and parties. But the main use is expected to be in classrooms, that's why Quiz Boxes is all about POINTS, not DOLLARS. There is no link to gambling like there is with that other game."
