Valley High
School where there are no desks and no lectures. It's a class that
students actually want to attend, even though it means staying at
school
as late as 8pm and coming in on Saturdays. It's a robotics class where
the students work on a robot for the annual FIRST competition. Last
year the
student's entry placed second out of the 46 teams competing in their

Justice Says
Guns-Drawn School Raid Legal
A guns-drawn raid at a high school last year did not violate civil
rights laws and the case is closed, the U.S. Justice Department
said.
...
Fifteen officers entered Stratford High School's main hallway and
ordered 130 students to the floor Nov. 5 of last year. They used
plastic ties to handcuff 18 students and school officials opened and
searched 17 book bags using a drug dog.
Police found no drugs or weapons, but the raid frightened children,
provoked marches and lawsuits and brought national media attention and
the resignation of the school's longtime principal.
the
original story is covered here with video. the memory hole has mor
e, including an unidentified person in what appears to be a
military uniform.
This is one incident that I can't
imagine happening in Japan... at least not yet. I wonder what this
sort of "police state" behavior does to children.

What Is RSS-Blog-Furl High School
Missing?
03/06/2004 01:48 AMMorning at
RSS-Blog-Furl High School
"English teacher Tom McHale sets down his cup of coffee and boots
up the computer at his classroom desk. It’s 6:50 in the morning.
After logging in, he opens up his personal page on the school
Intrablog. There, he does a quick scan of the New York Times front
page headlines and clicks through one of the links to read a story
about war reporting that he thinks his student journalists might be
interested in. With a quick click, Tom uses the 'Furl it' button on
his toolbar, adds a bit of annotation to the form that comes up, and
saves it in his Furl journalism folder which archives the page and
automatically sends the link and his note to display on his journalism
class portal for students to read when they log in. Next, he scans a
compiled list of summaries that link to work his students submitted to
their Weblogs the night before. With one particularly well done
response, he clicks through to the student’s personal site and
adds a positive comment to the assignment post. He also 'Furls' that
site, putting it in the Best Practices folder which will send it to
the class homepage as well for students to read and discuss, and to a
separate Weblog page he created to keep track of all of the best
examples of student work. It’s 7:00...." [Weblogg-ed

Check out the full text of this amazing post by Will Richardson. In
it, he pulls together the beginning threads of integrating blogs, RSS,
and social bookmarking in an educational setting. It's a great vision,
one that I fully believe will eventually happen in one integrated
app.
However - and this is a big however - the only time the library
shows up in Will's post is when the teacher unsubscribes from the
library's feed! There's no mention of a topical feeds from the
library, use of library databases to support research or assignments,
no collaborative collection of web-based resources managed by the
library, or any other daily interaction with the library and its
resources. It's actually pretty sad when you think about it, but
unfortunately, it will be accurate if librarians don't start
understanding, using, and providing information to these types of
tools.

03/14/2005 06:03 PMIn light of International
Women's Day, I can't think of a more appropriate story than this.
Scott Zinn and other
readers sent links about the long anticipated Arm
Wrestling match between man and machine. The machines in this case
are using the latest electroactive polymer (EAP) actuators, also known
as artificial muscles. EAP technology is more powerful than electric
motors but much lighter than hydraulics and pneumatics. Dr.
Bar-Cohen of NASA first proposed such a competition in 1999 and it
finally happened March 7th in San Diego. Three
organizations entered robot arms to compete against a human
opponent, high school student and robotics hobbyist Panna
Felsen. She beat all three
robots. The robot build by ERI
of New Mexico did best, holding out against the human for 24 seconds
(ERI also sells EAP
units for experimenters). Two champion arm wrestlers officiated to
ensure
both human and machine followed standard rules. The
eventual goal is to
have an EAP arm that can beat the strongest human. For more see our
previous stories on Dr.
Bar-Cohen and EAP
actuators
