Computer Game Improves Children's Hearing
wiredbeat2000 writes "The BBC is running a story that claims children who play video games increase their hearing skills. There have been several studies over the last few months extolling the virtues of games and education. For example, Wired News ran a roundup of college programs, and USA Today published a recent story on Daphne Bavelier's findings that playing games could help children develop hand-eye coordination, in addition to Professor James Gee's Slashdot-covered video transcript and article on 'games that teach'." Things have come a long way since the time when schoolkids were dumped in front of a computer and left to play Oregon Trail.

So what about deaf kids?

TROLL! You sir, are a troll. A big hairy troll with a mohawk.
I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance with a system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much Oh, you're wasting my time You're just wasting time Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out till I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah don't take my heart Don't break my heart Don't throw it away I made a fire and watching burn Thought of your future With one foot in the past now just how long will it last No no no have you no ambition My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air And dreaming I'm a doctor It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand Oh I feel so... Something happens and I'm head over heels And this my four leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four leaf clover
ESDF is superior to WASD i find. First of all there is the marker on the F key (on most keyboards i know) so you will always know if you have the right keys without looking after you have used some of the secondary keys. Second of all it distributes the other keys more even on both sides of the movement keys. Like with WASD you only have Q on the left and ERTFG on the right for secondary keys. With ESDF you have QWA on the left and RTG on the right... So for people moving from the arrow keys i suggest ESDF instead of WASD even tho this has become the default many places.
Whats a sig? And how do i append it?
