    Even though the products of this company have been ranked highly as an education app, I am unable to see how this game is any different from the drill type computer games that have been around for ages. Am I missing something ? I think there is a need for both clear guidelines and regulation before a product can be claimed to have educational value.

    Surveys show a high percentage of people in the work force are not engaged in their work. They are simply going through the motions for a paycheque. This article uses many of the same strategies that we discuss as effective for students, but this if for the workforce.

    This is great! Teaching kids at a very young age that computers are not just smart but are programmed to be smart can be very valuable. So many new tools and technologies these days are completely abstracting how they actually work, which makes me worry that kids just think computers are magical.
  • Briana Pressey on 27 Feb 12
     
    So true! Clearly, it's the people who create the technologies that are magical. =p

    As a former Air Force officer, I completely agree with the title of this article. It is simply amazing to see how simulations, video games and other technological platforms are being used to educate and train our nation's soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen.

Zapping the brain into "expert" mode - Boing Boing - 3 views

      Thanks for the link, Jing Jing. The article makes an interesting conclusion that in addition to electrical stimulus, you can induce flow by focusing on an external object to "turn off conscious thought." From the New Scientist article: "When you have an external focus, you achieve a more automatic type of control," she says. "You don't think about what you are doing, you just focus on the outcome."
  • Jing Jing Tan on 06 Feb 12
     
    Tying in with our conversation about flow, this article mentions a way to physically induce flow through "transcranial direct current stimulation".

    Students earn virtual currency by completing math "missions" with third party content. This is a start-up incubated by Pearson. To unlock premium content, students would pay real money (this portion is modeled on Zynga's facebook games)

    Nice to see the customization revolution well underway. Makes sense to focus on the upper teen segment who might be inspired to try something new to NOT dropout of HS or college. I wonder if their preliminary studies find changes in performance in traditional classes?

    Bill Gates responds to NY ruling that teachers' performance assessments can be publicized. He calls for a rigorous and comprehensive teacher evaluation system that will provide educators with constructive feedback (not public humiliation) so they know what needs improvement.

    This data base from the edWeb site (Games for learning) that Stephanie shared is a crowd sourced collection of learning games. Has the learning been intrinsically integrated into these games ?. How wise has the crowd been in collating this learning resource ?
