WWJ Newsradio 950 - Video Games, Cell Phones and Academic Performance: Good News
Using cell phones and playing video games may not be as harmful to children’s academic performance as previously believed, according to new research by a team of Michigan State University scholars.
In fact, cell phones had no effect on academic performance among a group of 12-year-olds, the researchers found in a three-year study published by the Conference Proceedings of the International Association for Development of the Information Society, or IADIS, in Barcelona, Spain.
And while the researchers found a strong relationship between video games and lower grade point averages, playing video games did not appear to affect math skills and had a positive relationship with visual-spatial skills. These skills -- in which a child learns visually, by thinking in pictures and images -- are considered the “training wheels” for performance in science, technology, engineering and math.

They need to move from being simply knowledgeable to being knowledge-able.
