Can Technology Help Students Be Better Learners?”

There’s a great book by Alliance for Childhood: Fool’s Gold. A Critical Look at Computer in Childhood. (College Park. 2001). I wish to quote some of their words:
“Computers pose serious health hazards to children. The risks include repetitive stress injuiries, eyestrain, obesity, social isolation, and, for some, long-term physical, emotional or intellectual developmental damage. Our children, the Surgeon General warns, are the most sedentary generation ever.”
“Children need stronger personal bonds with caring adults. Yet powerful technologies are distracting children and adults from each other.”
“Computers are perhaps the most acute symptoms of the rush to end childhood. The national drive to computerize schools, from kindergarten on up, emphasizes a narrow range of human capacities. In particular, it aims to jump-start consciously analytical thinking.”

How Bones Grow in Body

When you were a baby, you had tiny hands, tiny feet, and tiny everything! Slowly, as you grew older, everything became a bit bigger, including your bones. A baby's body has about 300 bones at birth. These eventually fuse (grow together) to form the 206 bones that adults have. Some of a baby's bones are made entirely of a special material called cartilage (say: kar-tel-ij). Other bones in a baby are partly made of cartilage. This cartilage is soft and flexible. During childhood, as you are growing, the cartilage grows and is slowly replaced by bone, with help from calcium. By the time you are about 25, this process will be complete. After this happens, there can be no more growth — the bones are as big as they will ever be. All of these bones make up a skeleton that is both very strong and very light. more...
