Week 8- Website 3

This website is a website based on a programme finding new ways to teach children via using technology, they have done studies on how video games can help children learn.

In the article i looked at they refer to Pransky saying that: 

"Our students have changed radically. Today's students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach. Today's students have not just changed incrementally from those of the past, nor simply changed their slang, clothes, body adornments, or styles, as has happened between generations previously. A really big discontinuity has taken place. One might even call it a 'singularity' - an event which changes things so fundamentally that there is absolutely no going back. This so-called 'singularity' is the arrival and rapid dissemination of digital technology in the last decades of the 20Th century."

The website as a whole if fairly up to date, the article i looked at was written in 2004.

The usability of the website is simple, easy to use and the navigation is straight forward. The links to each section of the website are brightly coloured in bold writing so that they are eye catching to the user.

There are boxes situated on the right hand side of the page so that you can leave your comment about the article they have posted up. This makes the articles seem to me more like blog posts.
