Tutors Teach Seniors New High-Tech Tricks - 0 views

  •  
    My grandparents live far away, and it's really hard trying to explain computer stuff on the phone. It would be great if there were more efforts like this, hooking up high school/college students to help local seniors.

Games Will All Be Going Cross-Platform - 0 views

  •  
    This article discusses the future of gaming and how companies are approaching gaming as platforms develop and evolve. "You have different visions of the future. Some companies think it's primarily browser-based and mobile is kind of an afterthought. Then you have other companies that are more in the social/mobile space and they say mobile is the future. From my point of view, I think Funzio has placed the bet correctly in that they are focusing on a cross-platform approach."
  •  
    Developers will need to be even more cross-platform after the news today: Adobe has announced they are ending development of the mobile versions of their Flash browser-plugin. They will instead be focusing their resources on tools for developing content for HTML5 (cross-browser compatibility for both computers and mobile devices, no plugins required), or for deploying content as apps designed to be deployed for all the major devices' app stores. http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/09/8717108-adobe-gives-up-on-mobile-flash-focuses-on-open-web-standards

computer based tools for modeling systems - 3 views

  •  
    Conceptual change is aided by model building. Visualizing the relationships between different components of the model using a graphical interface is a powerful technological capability. Powersim is one such tool. Such an iterative model building activity to predict theoretically principled outcomes is stated to be conceptually engaging. There are other tools like Stella and VSim that fall into the same category.

    BiNu makes feature phones a little smarter.
  •  
    I'm so excited to see biNu on here, Jenny! I wrote a case study about their technology for a class last year and was blown away how their model of cloud computing could essentially turn "dumb" feature phones into smart phones - and for a fraction of the cost. They've changed their marketing approach and business model substantially since I wrote the case study last fall, but I still see a lot of potential for this type of tech to reach hitherto-unconnected people in the developing world who were still using phones and 2G networks. So interesting, thanks for posting!

Technology Review: An Advert for In-Game Violence - 0 views

  • A team of European and U.S. researchers found ads displayed along with violent scenes to be more memorable to players than those shown with nonviolent content, even though players spent less time looking at them. The results are contrary to expectations stemming from research on television, where violence has been shown to decrease attention to advertisements. Developing a better understanding of the way advertising works in games could help game companies enhance their advertising strategies.
  • Those who played a violent version of the game, where the goal was to run down pedestrians, resulting in a blood-splattered screen, demonstrated significantly better recall of advertised brands than those who played the regular version. The researchers presented their work at the International Conference on Entertainment Computing last year.

    The unholy marrage of violent gaming and hightened advert recall...Clearly there are educational implications to be considered here.

OffiSync - Enabling Collaboration - 0 views

    Good utility since many people will likely be sharing documents via Google Docs while working on projects for coursework.

    OffiSync (currently in beta) allows users to access and modify Google Docs from their MS Office applications (like Word, Excel, PowerPoint). The tool requires Windows XP, Vista, or 7 and MS Office 2003 or 2007. Some errors are to be expected in the beta stage, but the benefit of conveniently editing Google Docs is worth the minor annoyances.
  •  
    Hey Chris. Given all the other options we have for creating and sharing documents and information, how do you see this being most useful to you?
  •  
    The 1-step migration of research content to the host document is very nice, but outside of that, I think I would be inclined to stick with google docs if for no other reason than users (and any collaborators) do not need to download an application to their computer.
