MicroWorlds 2.0 is a new version of an award-winning Logo program. It lets one learn any subject through exploration, creation and construction. Students design and build a school project, such as a map or electronic storybook, in a Logo-based environment.

Among the enhancements in version 2.0 are access to QuickTime movies, Pioneer videodiscs, and CD-based audio, sound clips and photos. Plus, a new "player version" allows students to share their work with classmates or parents.

Six-user lab packs and site network licenses are available. Each package includes full documentation, built-in help and on-disk samples. LCSI, Highgate Springs, VT, (800) 321-5646.

    California AI Watermarking Bill Supported by OpenAI

    OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, is backing a California bill that would require tech companies to label AI-generated content in the form of a digital "watermark." The proposed legislation, known as the "California Digital Content Provenance Standards" (AB 3211), aims to ensure transparency in digital media by identifying content created through artificial intelligence. This requirement would apply to a broad range of AI-generated material, from harmless memes to deepfakes that could be used to spread misinformation about political candidates.
