...stage. Many others were shot or injured, including Peterson, who survived the rampage. It had been a week full of shootings on a number of high school campuses but the deadly six-minute long incident at NIU was by far the most reminiscent of last year's horrendous Virginia Tech massacre where a lone gunman killed 32 people before committing suicide...
...Tech for Tots Lev Grossman needn't fear unnecessarily that at 3 his daughter is too young for computer gaming [Feb. 11]. Not all young gamers go on to become computer nerds or serial killers. Computers can also be a very positive experience for a young child. We got our first computer in 1988, when our youngest son was 4, and it was love at first sight. He's now 24 and works as a software developer. We always encouraged all his diverse interests; he played varsity soccer and sang in the school choir in high school and spent...

When I visited Singapore's National Institute of Education, the nation's only teacher-training institution, nearly all the people I spoke with described how they were investing in teachers' abilities to teach a curriculum focused on critical thinking and inquiry--skills needed in a high-tech economy.

When...
...Brother is not only watching you; in Barking and Dagenham, Big Brother wants a word. The disembodied voices of authority offering advice and warnings that now issue as if from thin air in the hardscrabble east London borough are, in fact, talking CCTV cameras - the latest high-tech weapon in the war on littering, graffiti, vandalism and other antisocial behavior. Sixteen of the borough's 84 surveillance cameras have been wired for sound, making London's first video monitoring network with a broadcasting capacity. A second borough, Southwark, will soon adopt the same system...
