    A child as young as 9 months can set goals when playing the apps in iphone. More and more parents let children play with their iphones. I-phones, which consist of many interesting apps and colorful designs, are easy to catch children's attention. Easy apps which can help children develop their basic skills (such as counting skills), do have great market and should be developed and improved.

  • Researchers say the lure of these technologies, while it affects adults too, is particularly powerful for young people. The risk, they say, is that developing brains can become more easily habituated than adult brains to constantly switching tasks — and less able to sustain attention.

    The distraction of technology, especially mobile phone and computer, has always been a concern to us. When I was in middle school, few students owned cellphones or laptops. So we have no chance to be immersed in the virtual world. But apparently we couldn't enjoy the benefits of the latest technology either at that time. If I were able to choose, I would definitely choose the colorful school life which is enriched by the various technologies.

  • The college campus experience makes a nice analogy for how consumers adapt to social media. Students arrive for their freshman year brimming with energy and expectation, ready to join every group, hit every party and try every new experience. The dorm room remains constantly open.

    Can social networks be an instructive technology? Since social networks are so popular, if their features can be used in education, there would be interesting results. However, nowadays, most of them are for entertainment uses.

qq 360 battle

shared by Yang Jiang on 06 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • A battle over alleged unfair business practices between Tencent, operator of the popular instant-messaging software QQ, and Qihoo 360, China’s biggest antivirus service provider, escalated this week when Tencent  stopped service to QQ  users whose computers are installed with  Qihoo 360’s software.
  • The conflict appears to have started two months ago when Qihoo 360, which has 300 million users, alleged that QQ was scanning the private data of its more than 600 million users and released software claiming to block plug-ins that could cause such privacy leaks.
  • In a statement sent to users Wednesday, Tencent said “Dear QQ users, this email is to inform you that we’ve just made a very difficult decision. Until Qihoo 360 removes the tag-on service and malicious slander against QQ software, we have decided to stop running QQ software on computers that have installed the 360 software. We are fully aware of the inconvenience this may cause you, and we sincerely apologize for it.”

  • The demand for e-Learning resources derived from the economic burden imposed by the frequent revision of textbooks and spiralling prices of scholastic texts, according to the Textbook and e-Learning Resources Development Report released by the Working Group on Textbooks & e-Learning Resources Development in 2009.
  • In February 2010, a fund of HK$128 million was established by the Legislative Council to create a three-year program promoting an e-Learning pilot scheme. Of that total HK$68 million will be disbursed among 20 primary schools and 30 secondary schools for e-Learning.

  • The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and four nonprofit education organizations are beginning an ambitious initiative to address that challenge by accelerating the development and use of online learning tools.
  • Just how effective technology can be in improving education — by making students more effective, more engaged learners — is a subject of debate. To date, education research shows that good teachers matter a lot, class size may be less important than once thought and nothing improves student performance as much as one-on-one human tutoring.
