Some schools say no to energy drinks (Newsday.com) - 0 views

  •  
    They can be popular because they're sweet, they give you a lift and they have hip-sounding names like Red Bull and Spike Shooter. But school officials across the country aren't as buzzed about caffeinated energy drinks as some of their students. They're worried about young people gulping down too much caffeine _ and getting so hyper that they lose focus on their studies.

The End of Techno-Critique: The Naked Truth about 1:1 Laptop Initiatives and Educationa... - 19 views

  •  
    "This article responds to a generation of techno-criticism in education. It contains a review of the key themes of that criticism. The context of previous efforts to reform education reframes that criticism. Within that context, the question is raised about what schools need to look and be like in order to take advantage of laptop computers and other technology. In doing so, the article presents a vision for self-organizing schools."

Immune to Reform by Marcus A. Winters - City Journal - 5 views

  • It is a factor outside of education that Moe believes is the real game-changer: the rapid expansion of information technology. Moe believes, as he and John Chubb argued recently in their 2009 book, Liberating Learning, that technology has the power to weaken the unions by fundamentally changing the way that schools operate. Schools are heavily dependent on human capital—that is, teachers. Technology is beginning to enter classrooms and perform some, though not all, of the tasks for which teachers have always been required. Interactive software can not only supplement, but eventually replace, a portion of teacher-based instruction. Over time, technology could make it so that schools require fewer teachers and thus fewer union members. Moe makes a bold prediction that someday soon, this is going to happen.
