The document discusses the digital gender divide from multiple perspectives. It finds that while access gaps have closed, differences still exist in how men and women use technology. Women are less likely to use computers for games or work and more for communication, while lacking confidence in technical skills and terminology. The summary calls for efforts to encourage all genders equally, demonstrate practical technology uses, and eliminate technical jargon to help close remaining usage gaps.

Games for LearningRichard Culatta

��

The document discusses 9 reasons why games should be used instead of online courses for learning. It argues that games give learners more choice in how they learn, similar to how Amazon personalizes recommendations. Games also immerse learners in contexts that cognitive psychologists believe helps learning occur in the zone of proximal development. The document notes that games are good because they do not have rigid "next" buttons and sometimes allow useful failures unlike traditional online courses.
