Peggy Sheehy on Education in Second Life & Ramapo Islands - (USA)
When I was 14 - which is only 10 years ago - I was as lucky to attend a highschool with a more than decent computer lab for that time: 20 macs hooked up to the internet. Not that they were used much, as for except a few, nobody had an idea what to actually use the internet for. I remember teaching ‘internet for teachers: the basics’ with a friend of mine during lunch break, covering exciting missions such as there are ‘how do I create an email account’, ‘how do I check my email’ and ‘how do I s

Wrenching that TV remote – a key to good health/ Kill the TV/ Watch your weight, not the TV The percentage of overweight children and adolescents in the US is growing. An increasing number of teens are leading sedentary lives, sitting for hours in front of their TVs and computer screens, mindlessly grazing on empty-calorie, high-fat foods. 90% of our young people spend three hours a day watching TV and the activity most often paired with television watching is eating: Youth report eating

Tell the Next Generation - (USA)
Make a difference in a kid’s life - Become a mentor. “We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.” Psalms 78:1-4 Do you have the impression that the next generation is not interested in hearing about the things of the Lord? We sometimes feel the divide is so great that we simply stay in our familiar circles far removed from theirs. Sometimes our own judgments even keep us from seeing past the earrings and tattoos. Yet there is

Using Technology to Strengthen Family Ties - (USA)
……………………………… While it may seem like you’ve “lost” your teen to social technology, like Facebook or text messaging, a new report finds that this technology - namely the Internet and cell phones - is actually creating a “new connectedness” for American families. In particular, parents say cell phones allow their families to stay more regularly in touch. And many parents say they are now using the Internet to view material online together. Are you using technology to its best advantage? Before

Kids - The Internet is good for you - (USA)
Parents the world over worry about their kids spending too much time hunched in front of their computers, rather than doing 'normal' things like playing outside. However, as reported in The San Francisco Chronicle yesterday, not only does spending time online enhance certain social and digital literacy skills, kids who are barred from computer use are actually at a social disadvantage versus their peers. This is according to The Digital Youth Project, released by The MacArthur Foundation. Fr

Hope from the generations of PC gamers - (USA)
This blogger has a propensity to concoct longer-than-needed write-ups on mundane topics. I’ll try to make this geek-speak crisp, but meaty enough to deliver the message. There’ll be more about related topics, so I hope you’ll tune in. Despite the seeming apathy internalized by today’s youth due to the rise of technology and their immersion – addiction – to video or computers, there remains hope that the said generations will look and act beyond what they have learned through conventional medium

In which Lingamish searches for porn, girls and xxx - (USA)
Posted by: David Ker on: November 16, 2008 In: Lingamish Comment! Our family is slowly habituating to the US and its oddities. We continue to be shocked and amazed by the variety in the grocery stores. If only we could transport the smallest convenience store in the most podunk US town to our village in Africa we would feel rich beyond measure. We haven’t figured out what to do with TV. I love football and HGTV. The Extreme Foods show with Andrew Whatsisname was fun for a while but then it

Is MSN Better For Business Than Google? - (USA)
By Michael Small Google may be the most popular search engine but is it the best for driving qualified sales leads to your site? You might be surprised at the answer.

While they might be accurate as far as how much a search engine is used there is a much bigger picture

Planned parenthood.. Gift certificates.. Say Merry Christmas with an abortion? - (USA)
The name “Planned Parenthood” sounds so innocuous, you would think they are a benevolent ground that helps people with pregnancy and parenting.. right? They had become the “oh crap, I’m pregnant.. center”.. and now the “abortions for all” center. They have nothing to do with parenting, or healthy pregnancies, or birth control.. unless the birth control is after a woman (or too often, girl) is already pregnant. I think they should change their name to reflect their true intentions, “planned

Edubabble - what DO those words mean? - (USA)
Every industry has its own "inside baseball" terminology and my industry, information technology, certainly has more than its own share of them. Listen to two or more folks who are well schooled in their industry and it is almost a sure bet that an outsider will be lost in just a little while. Or worse, led astray - hearing something and taking it in a given direction, but finding out later that what you thought a word meant was way different than what you thought. Well, your local educational

Gaming Through Computer Networking - (USA)
One of the essential needs of mankind (other than food, clothing, and shelter) is entertainment. We have had many forms of entertainment since the dawn of the human race such as dancing, singing, chanting, and acting.
