    "The program ... pairs up teams of five high school-age girls with female technology entrepreneurs as mentors. In addition, the program brings in guest lecturers throughout the 10-week program to talk with the girls about opening their own businesses in the technology field". I love the idea of grooming high school girls in technology entrepreneurship.

  • closing schools is not something anyone enjoys,” said Joel I. Klein, the schools chancellor. “By and large, what this is about is simply the fact that when you have many kids in a high-needs community, you find that the smaller schools, where they are highly personalized, where they have strong partnerships and involvement with various organizations, those things really have been a successful strategy for us.”

    Touting how addictive a video game can become for players is an interesting selling point. I am thinking it means, fast highs, quick death (of avatar, etc) and replayability. I would describe THE MORON TEST available on iTunes as having those addictive qualities.

  • The new study, in the journal Cerebral Cortex, found that nearly a quarter of the variability in achievement seen among men and women trained on a new video game could be predicted by measuring the volume of three structures in their brains.
  • pre-existing individual differences in the brain might predict variability in learning rates, the authors wrote.
  • Such information might be useful in education, where longer training periods may be required for some students, or in treating disability or dementia, where information about the brain regions affected by injury or disease could lead to a better understanding of the skills that might also need attention
