Virtual Internships are basically like school or work, only with pretty graphics. But if people are willing to sink hours of their lives into digital farming, there’s no reason educators shouldn’t capitalize on the gamification paradox: how it is that boring things are seemingly less boring on the computer screen. — David Zax, http://www.fastcompany.com/1724046/toolwire-virtual-internships

Audible Update…

Posted on 26 January 2009 by Erwin

I haven’t had a chance to catch up on Audible “reading” for a few months now, so here’s a little “audible update”. Possible good new reads:

- The Ascent of Money: A financial History of the World (11.5 hrs, $18)
- The World is Curved: Hidden Dangers to the Global Economy (10.5 hrs, $21)
- The Partnership: The Making of Goldman Sachs (33hrs, $32)
- The Pixar Touch: The Making of a Company (9.25 hrs, $18)
- Wealth, War and Wisdom (12 hrs, $25)

I’ll probably go with “Wealth, War and Wisdom” first as it has a quite interesting premise… We’ll see.
