more video games; fewer books at schools?

The first half of this article is about people wanting to bring video games into the schools. Indiana University's associate professor Sasha Barab is developing such that will teach and entertain. They are examining how games work so they could redeliver information through educating these kids.

Buxfer

I think that this website is a GREAT idea. At this particular time in my life i need this management with my money. I am trying to move out of my house in the summer and i need to keep track of my spendings and earnings to see if i am able to do so. This would also help anybody else, living in miami is very expensive and the prices just keep shooting up. Its good to manage your money because you REALLY cant afford to be in debt.

Movie.

I have more than one all time favorite movie. Love and Basketball & Raising Victor Vargas. Those two movies are the besssssst. i love them because they are about LOVE. [:
Love and Basketball is about these two people who have been best friends since elementary school. (Monica and Q) they are in love but tehy dont want to admit it. Monica gets jealous about all the girls Q talks to, and so does Q. They both LOVE basketball as much as they love eachother [ thats a whole lot]. They go through so much together. boyfriends girlfriends. elementary middle and highschool, etc. they end up admitting to eachother that they love eachother in the end. and spend the rest of their life together.

Raising Victor Vargas is about a boy named Victor who lives in Harlem, NY with his little brother and sister and grandmother. His parents died a while back. Victor is a poor kid, he lives in the "ghetto" of newyork. this movie takes place during the summer. In NewYork the summers are dry and extremely hot. So Victor and his friend Harold would go to the pool everyday. They would see this girl Judy, or "Juicy Judy" as Victor would call her. He finally got the courage to go up to her ad talk to her.
Judy wanted nothing to do with Victor in the begining and played VERY hard to get. She made him work to earn her, so he did. Victor fell in love. He did all he could to get a chance to see her. She finally gave in and told him she loved him two. the movie ends with them running away together for a night, and they sleep in a little den Victor knew about.

learning fun?

One suggestions to make class more conducive to learning.
How can a system be designed so students care more for learning?


I was watching MTV last night and they had a show about highschool pranks or something like that. This episode was about these two boys whom have been best friends since they were small. They both attended this magnet school called Raleigh Senior High. This school is super hard to get into, its just like our own Coral Reef. Anyway, they had this think that when they become juniors in highschool and they have a 3.0 gpa they will receive an orange id card. If they didnt have a 3.0 they would receive a green id card. Orange meant they could leave campus for lunch, and Green would mean they had to stay and eat nasty cafeteria food. I think that would be a good idea to motivate students to learn.
