Computer Science Teacher - Thoughts and Information from Alfred Thompson : Playing Vide... - 0 views

  •  
    Share this with your students who love video games. I love how Alfred shares his thoughts on the transition from gamer to game designer. This is a huge market especially as education moves to gaming platforms as well.

    This blog post is from one of Microsoft's bloggers and helps students understand what is required to create video games versus just playing them. Fits in well with Flat Classroom.

Flash Mobs Take Violent Turn in Philadelphia - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • But these so-called flash mobs have taken a more aggressive and raucous turn here as hundreds of teenagers have been converging downtown for a ritual that is part bullying, part running of the bulls: sprinting down the block, the teenagers sometimes pause to brawl with one another, assault pedestrians or vandalize property.

    "Two Pew Internet Project surveys of teens and adults reveal a decline in blogging among teens and young adults and a modest rise among adults 30 and older. In 2006, 28% of teens ages 12-17 and young adults ages 18-29 were bloggers, but by 2009 the numbers had dropped to 14% of teens and 15% of young adults. During the same period, the percentage of online adults over thirty who were bloggers rose from 7% blogging in 2006 to 11% in 2009. "
