Australian education commentator seeks
to ban iPods from schools

Australian education commentator seeks
to ban iPods from schools 04/11/2005 03:12 PM
A report yesterday in The Sunday Mail revealed that taking iPods to school could be distracting children from learning, according to education commentator Christopher Bantick. "If they are playing them throughout the day they are definitely leading to social isolation and a very clear distraction from instruction," Mr Bantick said. "The bottom line is they should not be brought to school, and parents should be aware they could possibly disrupt the learning program of their child." In Sydney last month, students at the International Grammar School were banned from having iPods at school. The device was outlawed "fearing they were distracting students from study and isolating them from peers." Many groups disagree with the claims and don't want to see iPods banned from schools. The Association of Independent Schools, the Queensland Parents and Citizens Association and the Secondary Principals Association believe that individual schools should set their own policy and that a blanket ban is not necessary.

Largest Free Network?

Largest Free Network? 08/03/2004 02:15 PM
Panera claims a great title: largest free Wi-Fi hotspot network: In a press release today, Panera says its network of 325 free Wi-Fi hotspots is the largest such free network. They plan to have 500 stores out of 637 current outlets unwired within 12 months. An additional 140 to 150 stores will open this year, and Wi-Fi is planned as part of their design. The press release has metrics on performance: ...the average total online time per bakery/cafe has increased three-fold over the last twelve months. Internal research indicates that of the hundreds of thousands of customer accesses over the last year, the average connect time is one hour. Interestingly, there's no dollars-to-time ratio: are folks spending 10 percent more who use Wi-Fi? 100 percent more? Less? We don't know, but we must expect that they do. (Update: Here's a story from Mobile Pipeline that quotes the chairman and CEO saying, "Offering free Wi-Fi Internet access is keeping our customers in our stores longer -- primarily during off-peak hours -- and bringing them back more often," he said. Still no dollars, but at least an affirmative statement.) Off-peak hours is the mantra of the retail hotspot establishments: they're eager to fill seats when they're empty. Nominations welcome for other free hotspot networks that rival Panera's, but I think they may have the claim. Best Western and other hotel chains are rolling out free high-speed Internet access, but they are generally available only to guests, and often incorporate a lot of in-room wired service except in newer installations....
