      Fascinating!  You could subscribe to the Boston Globe to read "The Word" written by this author, or you could read her blog.  I'm thinking: open source, free media, etc.

      Social reading -- sounds exciting. I've been thinking how cool it would be to have a class group textbook online. SO like you go online to yoru textbook for your class and you can see what other classmates have highlighted and commented on and tagged and add your own thoughts to the discussion. They can link to their blog posts about a subject in teh book that they did expanded self-directed learning on or just that they thought about more, etc. Sounds SUPER cool, huh? (ok ok, I'll blog about it)

  • scientists unraveled the structure of the atom, revealing the electron and proton. 
  • in 1938 fission of uranium atoms by neutrons was carried out in Germany. The energy associated with fission opened the possibility for powerful weapons and also the production of energy for civilian use.
  • The United Nations attempted to develop a policy for control of nuclear weapons, but the United States and the Soviet Union could not agree. This was but one component of the emerging Cold War between the two nations. Citizens of all nations saw the power of nuclear fission as massive threat as well as a source of useful energy for mankind.
