Finnie's students designed an emergency
plan for the home, and an emergency kit. They
also created a newspaper, complete with illustrations,
that "tells someone who doesn't know
anything about earth science all about earthquakes,
volcanoes, and plate tectonics how
they're all related, and why we have earthquakes."
In addition, the students videotaped
a five-minute earthquake-safety commercial in
the form of a rap song, and victory was theirs.

I know that Stuart Kauffman is looking for a new global ethic and right in front of us is a powerful new tool and sensibility that is emerging.

Green's university, Coppin State, is one of a few hundred across the country that's using the lecture-archiving system called Tegrity. In Maryland, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Salisbury University and the Community College of Baltimore County are using it, too. School officials say the technology is not only helping students stay on pace with course work, it's taking away a prime reason for dropping out.

A three-year research project, headed by Mimi Ito, involving 28 researchers and 800 subjects, and sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation, finds that the stereotypical idea of the Internet as a soul-devouring, anti-social wasteland for our kids is just plain wrong. If you suspected otherwise, now you know you were right.

While friendship-driven participation centered on “hanging out” with existing friends, interest-driven participation involved accessing online information and communities that may not be present in the local peer group.
