I would think, like you said, the same rules apply, suite (tie for men) and come prepared. Instead of having hard copies, bring soft copies to discuss!!! Besides, who wouldn't want to pretend their leaner/more attractive than they are! :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10317595323714598693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592362.post-66484171149534987182010-09-28T17:56:10.260-05:002010-09-28T17:56:10.260-05:00Karl

At first, it was just the older generation who shrugged off technology advancement, instead, holding on to the old methods. As time has passed however, the spread of non-adopters appears to be making its way into subsequent younger generations. <br /><br />At least within education, I believe as technology growth increases (ie -- more technology is created and adopted by users within a period of time), we see this increase in the number of non-adopters. That increase comes from across the generations as well, not just the older folks. But, how can this be? Are educators simply sequestered from the statistics of technology adoption all together? How can this large group of people NOT influence overall technology adoption? Or, are they willing to adopt technology for their personal life, but see no application to the classroom? <br /><br />Where am I right and where am I wrong?Mark T.

There are some ...This has been going on for years. There are some video games that have more art to them than some movies. There are some beautiful looking worlds out there that people have created, and just because it is in a game, doesn't mean it is not art. Heck, Avatar, the world was all CG - same as you would find on a game (I don't remember, but wasn't it nominated for an acadmy for art?). The story that some of these games have, again, better character and plot development than many movies. <br /><br />But, I agree, violence for the sake of violence is not needed in movies nor games. It is the parents responsibility to know what games their kids are playing. If the kid buys a violent video game, then the parent better find it and take it away if they don't want them playing it. Did the parents infringe on the child's rights? California is trying to make the game stores do the parent's job. Though, I would not complain about having that help. But, First Admendment? They (gaming companies) have the right to make as violent of a game as they want - that is their first admendment rights. But is it the right of a minor to be able to buy said game? As Karl said, the Supreme Court will let us know.Mark Viquesneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755761823445648629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592362.post-28476524464735387282010-09-22T16:48:29.119-05:002010-09-22T16:48:29.119-05:00The video game industry has had a rating system in...The video game industry has had a rating system in place for some time, so this isn't an issue of implementing a rating system, the issue is why are violent video games not art but violent moving pictures are considered art?<br /><br />I guess the supreme court will let us know.Karl Kapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586071112339563727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592362.post-13334608357410607012010-09-21T21:00:20.885-05:002010-09-21T21:00:20.885-05:00@Dreana.

Although the learning may not have been the out come we intended to have occur, learning has taken place. I design instruction, we have to be careful to keep the "garbage" (or unintended learning) to a minimum so that what is being learned is directed toward the goal of the instruction.

While I 100% agree that there's a double-standard, I don't think harping on one of the most moderate Republicans for endorsing the same rules for video games as for movies is the best way of achieving this argument.Ron T Blechnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160049835937278838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592362.post-74095806384121364882010-09-21T10:22:51.365-05:002010-09-21T10:22:51.365-05:00I think at some level its no surprise, watching a ...I think at some level its no surprise, watching a movie your always a spectator. But a video game makes you feel you become the character through your immersive movements. This goes to the strength of why 3-D environments will be (prediction) shown to be better learning tools than digital stories. While it will take some time for 3-D environments to take hold, recent improvements in translating words directly from human brain activity will ultimately point to a new computer interface akin to the device found in Brainstorm(1983)Staying healthy through swimming - Strength, Flexibility and Techniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848586109253670161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592362.post-45471987952065359172010-09-17T20:51:22.849-05:002010-09-17T20:51:22.849-05:00Thanks, Karl! jbThanks, Karl! jbJane Bozarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179488095482056918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592362.post-63102491696408761382010-09-17T03:05:29.716-05:002010-09-17T03:05:29.716-05:00I think online learning is just the most cost effe...I think online learning is just the most <a href="http://www.intelladon.com" rel="nofollow">cost effective training solutions</a> out there!
