[Press] Recent Press on Ayiti: The Cost of Life

People have been saying some interesting things about Ayiti out in the blogosphere. Check out some of the recent articles/sites below.

  • "Teachers always talk about preparing students for the future, while many times teaching students today like they themselves were taught in the past. Given the “real world” becomes more and more “virtual” every day, perhaps it's time to make peace with our own nostalgic longing for the past, be more attentive to the present, and come together on how we can engage students in more real-world educational situations and simulations. " Virtual worlds improve the real world?
  • "I think the feeling some folks have that games are inappropriate for certain subject matter has to do with a high/low divide. Would you say that one shouldn't make a movie about Darfur or write a novel about it? Games are young medium, but they have the same possibility to transform people's ideas about the world as older mediums like film." Ayiti: Cost of Life
