    K-12 education may be at a pivotal point in its evolution. New approaches to schooling are being tested around the country, technological tools are making it easier to adjust classroom teaching methods to target individual student needs, and an emerging market of educational entrepreneurs is seeking to make money by solving problems. Indeed, the word "innovation" seems to be in everyone's lexicon these days; it's even turning up as part of new education job titles in school districts and states.

    By William Johnson, New York Times In Print: Sunday, March 11, 2012 I am a special education teacher. My students have learning disabilities ranging from autism and attention-deficit disorder to cerebral palsy and emotional disturbances. I love these kids, but they can be a handful.

    A broad treatment of computer and video games from a wide range of perspectives, including cognitive science and artificial intelligence, psychology, history, film and theater, cultural studies, and philosophy.
  • Brian Brotschul on 11 Mar 12
     
    New media students, teachers, and professionals have long needed a comprehensive scholarly treatment of digital games that deals with the history, design, reception, and aesthetics of games along with their social and cultural context. The Handbook of Computer Game Studies fills this need with a definitive look at the subject from a broad range of perspectives. Contributors come from cognitive science and artificial intelligence, developmental, social, and clinical psychology, history, film, theater, and literary studies, cultural studies, and philosophy as well as game design and development. The text includes both scholarly articles and journalism from such well-known voices as Douglas Rushkoff, Sherry Turkle, Henry Jenkins, Katie Salen, Eric Zimmerman, and others.

Harvard deans urge renewing civic education | Harvard Magazine Mar-Apr 2012 - 0 views

  • What strikes us about these passages is not their antiquity, but their wisdom. Today, many Americans have lost pride in their government. At a time when universities trumpet their place in the world—and within Facebook—but say little about their place in the Republic, these calls to educate citizens who will sustain the nation have new and vital meaning. It is time to reimagine higher education’s civic mission.
  • They are positioned not only to foster innovation, which is essential to national prosperity, but also to teach the public responsibilities associated with invention and entrepreneurship.

  • “A Republic, if you can keep it,” as Benjamin Franklin described our form of government, will not persist through momentum alone.
  • We see civic education as the cultivation of knowledge and traits that sustain democratic self-governance. The synergistic components of civic education in American colleges and universities are a tripod of intellect, morality, and action, all grounded in a knowledge base of American history and constitutional principles.
  • Civic education cannot flourish if intellect is privileged over morality and action, as is usual today.
  • As science either marginalized or helped transform other subjects, citizens’ responsibilities for the public good were squeezed out of the mission of higher education. Moral philosophy became a marginal

After 244 Years, Encyclopaedia Britannica Stops the Presses - NYTimes.com - 0 views

shared by Tamira Chapman on 14 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • In an acknowledgment of the realities of the digital age — and of competition from the Web site Wikipedia — Encyclopaedia Britannica will focus primarily on its online encyclopedias and educational curriculum for schools. The last print version is the 32-volume 2010 edition, which weighs 129 pounds and includes new entries on global warming and the Human Genome Project.
  • Since it was started 11 years ago, Wikipedia has moved a long way toward replacing the authority of experts with the wisdom of the crowds. The site is now written and edited by tens of thousands of contributors around the world, and it has been gradually accepted as a largely accurate and comprehensive source, even by many scholars and academics.
  • The Britannica, the oldest continuously published encyclopedia in the English language, has become a luxury item with a $1,395 price tag
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Only 8,000 sets of the 2010 edition have been sold, and the remaining 4,000 have been stored in a warehouse until they are bought.
  • Gary Marchionini, the dean of the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said the fading of print encyclopedias was “an inexorable trend that will continue.”“There’s more comprehensive material available on the Web,” Mr. Marchionini said. “The thing that you get from an encyclopedia is one of the best scholars in the world writing a description of that phenomenon or that object, but you’re still getting just one point of view. Anything worth discussing in life is worth getting more than one point of view.”

That's the message of the School District's proposed social media policy, which has not yet been passed but has received support in policy committee meetings this month.

    Life stacked the odds firmly against Sampson Davis, George Jenkins and Rameck Hunt. That didn't stop three Newark, N.J., boys born to broken homes and housing projects from growing up to become doctors. Today, their story becomes the focus of a month-long discussion by students at Central and Logan high schools.
