Apple in Education: Part V

Apple in Education: Part V 12/19/2004 02:51 PM
Most people think of music when they hear the word “iPod”, but the diminutive music player has other attributes that are making it an invaluable tool for the classroom. “The iPod is a portable tool for diction and sound recording, taking and reading notes, storing files and photos and listening to audio books and newspapers,” Apple says on its Education website. With enough space to store four weeks of continuous music, or 40,000 minutes of audiobooks, or a months worth of newspaper articles, the 40GB iPod is a “pretty big backpack”, Apple says. In fact, the iPod has proven itself so useful as a learning tool some schools are making it mandatory for students to own one. At the Brearley School, a private school for girls on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the iPod became a necessity on the school supply list this year, according to a New York Times article. The iPod was incorporated into foreign-language and classics courses and for about 300 girls in grades 7 through 12 for homework and classroom assignments. The NY Times reports that Apple says Brearley's mandatory-iPod program is the first it has heard of at the secondary-school level. At the post-secondary level, the iPod is also becoming a vital tool. This fall Duke issued an iPod to each of its 1,650 incoming freshmen and has tried to incorporate the device into several courses, including music, language and engineering. Last year, Georgia College & State University began lending the devices to students for use in several humanities courses. If the iPod’s multiple features already listed here weren’t enough to convince parents and educators of its importance beyond a music player, it can also keep track of schedules through its support of vCalendar and iCalendar files, which can be exported by Microsoft Entourage, Palm Desktop, and iCal. And finally, the alarm clock feature should eliminate tardiness in any student who owns one. Part I Part II Part III Part IV

Starting with this year's State of the Union address, President Bush began a plan to increase aid to Africa, and at the center of that plan is funding to prevent the spread of AIDS and HIV that has reached epidemic proportions on the continent. Critics however, have noted that aid to clinics comes with strings attached. Abstinence is preached first and foremost and condoms are mentioned only as a last resort. This reporter flat out says the policy to curtail the funding and use of condoms in Africa is killing millions.

Policies vs. Politics

Policies vs. Politics 12/19/2004 03:12 PM

Virginia Postrel hits on something interesting in a New York Times article based on a paper by a group of Harvard economists. The paper is about religion in politics, but she draws two broader conclusions:

Yet abortion rates show no significant change with the party in office, while tax rates rise significantly under Democrats - the opposite of what the political rhetoric promises. This result suggests that politicians move away from the social center mostly to get votes ("strategic extremism") and diverge from the economic center because they actually prefer those policies ("nonstrategic extremism").

Since the success of extreme messages depends on keeping your supporters better informed than your opponents, the model suggests that changing news media could be as important as changing social groupings.

Sounds right to me. The second point is intriguing because it suggests that getting the "liberal media" out of its elite, coastal shell might actually hurt the cultural conservatives who complain about it.

International financial integration should also help countries to reduce economic volatility, the study said, but in reality this has not happened.

"Indeed, the process of capital account liberalization appears to have been accompanied in some cases by increased vulnerability to crises," the report said.

"Globalization has heightened these risks since cross-country financial linkages amplify the effects of various shocks and transmit them more quickly across national borders."

In the last 10 years, developing countries from Thailand and Russia to Argentina, have seen their economies collapse, even though many of them were trying to follow IMF-prescribed open market policies.
