I keep waiting for someone to tell the young mayor, and Miss Rhee that to be a teacher in the District of Columbia is a very hard job shaped by all kinds of outside forces. I think about my three years I which I spent all of my savings contributing to the school system. I taught across from a large welfare housing in southwest Washington DC. The school is still there. They called me the pied piper of SW. I took children on field trips, taught them to use the museums on the mall to learn, did NASA Marsville with them and had wonderful reading scores. It was not appreciated. I was making trouble. That's why I left. Children followed me in the SW mall. Children in trouble slept at my doorstep. There was never enough time or money to address all of their needs.

Special care should be taken to protect highly effective schools for low-income minority students during district upheaval and budget cuts. We should treat highly effective teachers in areas of need as the stars that they are. But the places of learning in the community need to step up to the plate.

I applaud Rhee's efforts at reform, particularly with the DC schools, but it appears that she may not recognize or address the influence of parents, the community, and peer groups on human behavior and learning. Incorporating a plan to address and use these factors are also necessary to achieve her objectives, which are laudable.

She's on the cover of Time (week of December 8), in a classroom, unsmiling, dressed in black, holding a broom, with the cover title, "How to Fix America's Schools," set to look as though it's the lesson for the day written on the blackboard. Framing her head is the huge "TIME" trademark. She is Michelle Rhee, Chancellor of Education, District of Columbia Public Schools. And the question for the "class" is, Does she have the answer to America's failing public school systems? Is it, finally, time to make the kinds of sweeping changes that she represents?

The celebrated openness of the Internet -- network providers are not supposed to give preferential treatment to any traffic -- is quietly losing powerful defenders. Google Inc. has approached major cable and phone companies that carry Internet traffic with a proposal to create a fast lane for its own content, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Google has traditionally been one of the loudest advocates of equal network access for all content providers.

lasses need to offer experiential learning opportunities-activities that go beyond case analyses and technical training to provide real-world experiences.

Può sembrare una specie di provocazione: se non avete bisogno della modularità e della ricchezza semantica di un linguaggio XML-based allora fatevi un giro con HTML 4.01 Strict. In realtà è piuttosto un invito all'approfondimento e alla conoscenza di XHTML (incluso l' "how to"), e proprio oggi che HTML sembra tornare un tema d'attualità seppur avvolto da scenari nebbiosi e da una confusione ancora maggiore rispetto ai "miti" apparsi per XHTML

Revisiting Learning Space Design

Hanan EL-Halawany and Enas Ibraheem Huwail Assuit University, Egypt In this paper the researchers try to comprehend the ideological framework within which Malaysia has created its ICT mediated education. We look at Malaysia as a rewarding case study as evidence reveals that Malaysia has managed to leapfrog using the opportunities that ICTs can offer. Therefore, this paper tries to distill Malaysia's experience in this arena and extract lessons learned and innovative strategies and practices applicable to the Egyptian context.
