    EducationUSA just released a virtual simulation on their Facebook page. They state that it is the "World's first game-based adventure for international students to learn about opportunities in the United States of America." A short YouTube video is linked below. I would love to get your thoughts on this application. Can creating an avatar effectively teach (and prepare) international students for the U.S. college experience? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fj01uSj4L4&feature=youtu.be

    I have never puled a marathon viewing of this magnitude, but I have to admit that I did download season 1-3 of Lost onto my iPod a couple of years ago and watched over 6 hours of shows on the tiny screen on a flight from Boston to Rome. The show certainly is engaging and is best appreciated and understood when watched in rapid succession.

    Article discusses a MIT/Columbia project currently underway that uses AR systems to assist Marines during difficult repairs to weapons systems and vehicles. The test found that mechanics could perform the repairs in half the time when using AR assistance versus the more traditional text-based repair manual. I would be very interested in seeing how more AR in classroom seetings in physics and math might accelerate learning.

  • Older teens and Net Geners spend more than 20 hours per day using media. This is accomplished not by not sleeping but with considerable multitasking, which peaks at seven simultaneous activities for older teens.
  • preferred media choices differ dramatically across generations: For children, it's television; for tweens, it's video games; for teens, it's texting and social networking; and for Net Geners and Gen Xers, it's being online. And for Boomers, it's, of course, back to television.
