Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

In my own home, there was a succession of technology: the old DOS machines, floppy disks and “educational” games from Sierra Online. My favorites were Mixed-up Mother Goose and the Castle of Dr. Brain. The new technology which took advantage of color monitors and a mouse allowing me to navigate more complex images and activities on the screen initially attracted my attention.
But it was the stories in each game that motivated me to persist. A math problem on its own would not have captured my attention; but a math problem I had to solve in order to break the secret code and unlock the door in Dr. Brain's castle did.
