Interactive Learning Fails Reading Test
motivator_bob writes to tell us the Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that the latest craze of interactive computer software is actually hurting the education level rather than helping it. From the article: "Parents have also bought into the enthusiasm for technology, spending millions on educational computer games for their young. However, research published in the journal Education 3 to 13 has found that pupils who use interactive programs cannot remember stories they have just read because they are distracted by cartoons and sound effects."
I never ever ever ever write run-on paragraphs like that. WTF do you think you are to ignore my having hit NL? I know precisely who you are: passive agressive geeks who very precisely hide your true nature. Want proof? Your interface has been pathetic since day.1 and remains so. lamerz W^B p.s. read the .sig asshole. I no longer include geek-code ... I /know/ you're way too ADD to consult. "FOAF" pfffffffffffffffffffffffft!
