WGBH radio show on Games in Education featuring Muzzy Lane games
The WGBH Innovation Hub radio show presents "A New Role for Video Games in Education". Once, they were a distraction from homework, something mom told kids to put away before their brain frittered away. But now, some designers and educators say video games can be cutting-edge educational tools. What happens when video games are homework? We look at their role in the classroom, whether they might replace textbooks, and how kids could be affected. (Guests: David B. Martz, vice president, Sales & Marketing of Muzzy Lane Software in Newburyport, Mass; Eric Klopfer, associate professor, director of the MIT Scheller Teacher Education Program and The Education Arcade; Tim Loew, executive director, Massachusetts Digital Games Institute).

Alan Turing, widely considered the father of modern computer science, was also responsible for one of the greatest intelligence coups of World War II. He devised an electromechanical system, know as the bombe, to define the settings for Germany's Enigma Cipher. His work gave the Allies access to valuable military and diplomatic communications.

Germany's Luftwaffe used two types of fighters in the Battle of Britain. The Messerschmitt Bf109E was a fast and nimble plane; its range, however, was just over 400 miles, so it had limited applications. The Messerschmitt Bf110C was designed as a fighter escort for long-range bombers, but it was slow and hard to maneuver.
