"I believe that words mean things and the names we attach to the things we care about serve as little icons that can tell a very brief story about the things themselves.

"The Science through Technology Enhanced Play project (STEP) engages 6-8 year old students in a series of playful inquiry activities situated within a Augmented Reality environment. Tested at two schools and across two very different science topics-states of matter and the complex system of honey bee pollination-we have pioneered a new way for young students to engage in scientific inquiry and modeling in developmentally appropriate ways that breaks the mold of one-student-one computer. The big idea of STEP is to engage young children in an activity they are experts at, socio-dramatic play, in such a way that play becomes a form of scientific modeling and collective inquiry."

"Another way to look at Wikipedia's influence: Wikipedia reaches almost one-third of the total mobile population each month, according to Knight's analysis, which used data from the audience-tracking firm Nielsen. "
