From CNN.com: Kids use PlayStation for high-tech homework - Sep. 21, 2002.
The software described was developed by Lightspan here in San Diego, and an Ed Tech alumna, Liz Herrick, is quoted in the story. Most of Lightspan's software focuses on development of the sort of skills that standardized tests tend to measure. Schools with low scores often have Title 1 funds to spend on technology, and I think principals like the idea of attacking the problem with a single purchase order. In this era of high stakes testing, it could be that Lightspan is destined for great success.
