Women of Web2.0.4 – Discussion with Patsy Lanclos | EdTechTalk
Getting requests for information on keyboarding research – Patsy Lanclos, who worked with Texas Standards for years in this area gave the most comprehensive discussion I've heard back in an older archived version of the Women of Web 2.0 show that we did some time a go. Don't let the time fool you – this is still as current as if it was recorded yesterday.
This is just too far. Too FAR!
Online game raising a “virtual child” causes parents to neglect their real life daughter – their three month old starved to death.
I cannot even express the horror I feel at this article. Perhaps sharing this with my students and others will help people realize that face to face is FIRST PRIORITY!
If you have addictive behaviors online – get OFFLINE for goodness sakes.

I think this is so sad. Online gaming has become such an obsession in Korea (I am Korean American). I have visited Korea not too long ago and I saw so many game cafes there. There must have been one on every other block. They call it PC Bang, which means computer room. People come here to use the internet and play online games. They even serve food and people can eat while they play on the computer. I think the case of the parents neglecting their three month old is an extreme case but this just goes to tell you how onling gaming can ruin your family. I also read a korean newspaper about a college student who killed his mom because she kept scolding him for spending too much time on the computer and took it away. Technolgoy is a great tool in many aspects of professional, educational, and social life but only if it’s used appropriately. Too much of anything can be bad!
Actually the best way is face to face. Thanks for sharing.
