The Zombies, Run! story sounds like a fairytale. A group of people come up with a great idea for an app, and get some funding to build it. Except this fairytale doesn’t go like most Silicon Valley stories. This time, the funding came from people who really want to use the app, not from an angel investor or VC firm.
For those of us raised in typical school settings, the memory of straight-row desks with little activity is all too familiar. As we're all aware, the Kinect has the potential to evolve classrooms beyond this 18th century model of learning to a structure that's aligned with brain research and the benefits of active learning.
Inform is a design system for interactive fiction based on natural language. It is a radical reinvention of the way interactive fiction is designed, guided by contemporary work in semantics and by the practical experience of some of the world's best-known writers of IF.

Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a freely available teaching tool designed to be a student's first exposure to object-oriented programming. It allows students to learn fundamental programming concepts in the context of creating animated movies and simple video games. In Alice, 3-D objects (e.g., people, animals, and vehicles) populate a virtual world and students create a program to animate the objects.

"Around the country, a new career-minded education standard is slowly edging out the old academic focus on Lord Of the Flies book summaries and five-paragraph essays. So far 42 states have pledged to adopt the (coercively) voluntary standards championed by President Obama, the National Governors Association, and billionaire education crusader, Bill Gates. While educators are slowly dipping their feet into the pool of critical thinking, persuasive communications, and exploratory learning, the Gates foundation is looking to swing the direction of the standards with a mega-investment in digital learning."
Augmented Reality has been judged as one of 2010's hottest trends. The concept behind it is pretty simple, over lay the physical world with cool graphics that appear to occupy the same space as you.
