Robots in High School 12/19/2004 03:41 PM
A San Francisco Chronicle article describes an unusual class at San Ramon 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 region.

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 AM

Morning 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 News]

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.
