How do we create what is qualitatively new out of an event of such magnitude? In the main, the conference has been technocratic and not sufficiently reflective. There are obvious gaps when we unpack education on the basis of a technocratic and bureaucratic approach.

It appears as if we want to frame quality outcomes as survival in animalistic physical terms...

Kelly Dempsey-Little, an instructional technologist at Skidmore College, says that while she sees no reason to panic, she and her colleagues have talked about exploring alternative learning-management options, just in case. We are very happy with Blackboard right now, but were very concerned, she says. The ownership change might not be bad for Skidmores relationship with its learning-management vendor, but I dont think it will stay the same, she says. Blackboards transition from...

The student explained the exam had been about, something British. I just wrote anything. Journal writing is the most efficient way a child can develop writing skills.

The idea is that each day your child can reflect on the day or a special event in any type of written format; a poem, a poster, top 10...

How the system works As the number of childless couples grows in Russia, parents are being offered an incentive to defy the Soviet stigma surrounding larger milies. Accordingly, a student who is not interested in the natural sciences will not be forced to study chemistry, physics and biology separately, and...
