Read From Writing to Gaming to Writing I appreciate this section, where Ito talks about how the student followed her interest in gaming by writing scripts that take place in Minecraft, and how the teacher was open enough to understand that the students was following a passion. Tal got the idea to write scripts for her and her friends to film as animated plays in the game from a post on a Minecraft online forum.

Why Late Nights Lead to Crankier, More Emotional Teens. Kids are not better at technology than adults. The term “digital immigrants” and “digital natives” is almost as annoying as the fights are about the terminology. These terms are often credited to Marc Prensky, and from when I have had the opportunity to have heard him speak, he doesn’t believe that kids have an innate ability to use technology over adults.
They have not known a world with anything different. It made sense to me when I thought of my parents who came to Canada as immigrants. Why Journalism Might Actually Be the Class of the Future.

Raspberry Pi Becomes Cycle Exact Commodore Drive Emulator. The Commodore 1541 disk drive is unlike anything you’ll ever see in modern computer hardware.
At launch, the 1541 cost almost as much as the Commodore 64 it was attached to ($400, or about $1040 at today’s value). This drive had a CPU, and had its own built-in operating system. Of course, anyone using a Commodore 64 now doesn’t deal with this drive these days — you can buy an SD2IEC for twenty dollars and load all your C64 games off an SD card. If you’re cheap, there’s always the tape drive interface and a ten dollar Apple Lightning to 3.5mm headphone adapter. But the SD2IEC isn’t compatible with everything, and hacking something together using the tape drive doesn’t have the panache required of serious Commodoring. Lifehacker.

What makes the game such a global sensation is its power to encourage an interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) — those pesky fields that Americans don’t seem to be able to conquer. U.S. students lag behind 34 other countries in math and behind 26 countries in science, according to a Pew Research Center study. “The game encourages kids to regard logic and if-then statements as fun things to mess around with,” according to The Times article.
