    Article on how the idea that screens are bad for kids is out dated, but deeply entrenched. Instead of screen time hours, using apps such as Rescue Time, which tracks time spent on specific applications and websites, leads to discussions on time management and productivity. Citing studies on digital parenting by Alicia Blum-Ross and Sonia Livingstone, focusing on context, content, and connections is a better way to engage with kids. The article goes on to list strategies on how to do this. Linked to this from Bron Stuckey's FB page.

  •  
    Maryellen Weimer writes for faculty in educational settings and is focused on when collaboration crosses into cheating and how to know when students have really learned vs. mimic answers they had to real part in developing. Raises questions for me about the mindset that people carry from education into the workplace...wasn't there research on how research papers get credited with the most senior or male person first and those that followed (graduate students, less experienced faculty, women) did not get the same respect?
