Participatory learning – the Ning steps up a notch. - (USA)
I read a very interesting report earlier this week that I mentioned in one of my last posts. It was called ‘The Future of Learning Institutions in the Digital Age’ . It is an interesting read and even though it is primarily focused on higher education, it has parallels with the work we do with students at secondary level. This paragraph rang true for me; Every university in the global north, of course, is spending large sums of money revamping its technology offerings, creating great wi

How Socialized Health Care Works in Canada - (USA)
As a Canadian, and Cracked's official Overseas Correspondent, I sometimes find myself with a very different perspective on current events than Cracked's readership.* Most of the time when this happens, the events are political, and as such, I generally steer well clear of them when picking column topics. This is at least partly out of a sense of self preservation. American political commentators tend a little more towards the shrieking, hair-pulling, shitting-pants-in-anger style than I prefer t

From The Gift of Fire, by Richard Mitchell: Who is Socrates, Now That We Need Him? - (USA)
Quoted from Mark Alexander’s wonderful Richard Mitchell web site: When Benjamin Franklin was hardly more than a boy, but clearly a comer, he decided to achieve moral perfection. As guides in this enterprise, he chose Jesus and Socrates . One of his self-assigned rules for daily behavior was nothing more than this: "Imitate Jesus and Socrates." I suspect that few would disagree. Even most militant atheists admire Jesus, while assuming, of course, that they admire him for the right

Learning, Teaching and Learning - (USA)
by Jay Polmar How do we teach to each other? How is it that we were taught everything that we now know? At some points in history, knowledge was elitist and even a forbidden concept. In 399 BC, Socrates explained that he was known as the wisest of all men since he understood that he only knew about nothing. Socrates was ultimately executed because of his unyielding questioning to the Athens population to find out how they knew what they knew. In this days, we still ask Socratic questions

A Pretty Poor Investment - (USA)
In the current issue of Washington Monthly, Kevin Carey looks at why the price of higher education is rising much faster than inflation despite the fact that many schools are using technology to reduce costs, sometimes dramatically. Colleges are perfectly capable of becoming more efficient and productive, in the same way that countless other industries have: through technology. And increasingly, they are. One of the untold stories in higher education is that the cost of teaching is starting t

According Delisa Hyder, “One need not overly focus on the idiosyncracies of making a perfect final sports betting art piece, but instead, on making foundation work solid and easy to discern” Nov 30th, 2008 by Many sports betting artists, especially those under the age of 30, have never known any other medium except for digital design.
