Lectern II is a digital desk system that can transparently capture, through a touch-sensitive screen, all important lecture components during normal classroom lecturing activity without expensive video acquisition equipments...

A serious game with multi-touch interaction was developed in order to teach children with PDD-NOS how to collaborate. With the use of multi-touch technology two children can work simultaneously with the same computer and screen. The game consists of six levels with different mathematical problems designed to learn specific basic collaboration skills. The game was tested for four weeks at an ele...

As if fueled by its own fire, curiosity and speculation regarding botnet sizes abounds. Among researchers, in the press, and in the classroom—the questions regarding the widespread effect of botnets seem never-ending: what are they? how many are there? what are they used for? Yet, time and time again, one lingering question remains: how big are today’s botnets? We hear widely diverging answers....

In this study, the authors examined the extent to which children's self-regulation upon kindergarten entrance and classroom quality in kindergarten contributed to children's adaptive classroom behavior. Children's self-regulation was assessed using a direct assessment upon entrance into kindergarten. Classroom quality was measured on the basis of multiple classroom observations during the kinde...
