Apple is seeing "far more success than any other company" in implementing 1:1 computing solutions in U.S. education, Paul Papageorge, the company's senior director of marketing, told MacCentral. A 1:1 computing solution involves an environment where wireless networks are implemented so that every student and teacher has access to laptops. In an ideal situation, students can take the portable home and have access 24/7. This expands learning beyond the walls of the classroom, Papageorge said.

Must All Educational Games Be Boring?

Must All Educational Games Be Boring? 08/16/2004 05:00 AM
Some researchers are trying to encourage those on food stamps to eat in a healthier way, while making the food stamps go further. They decided that, since so many young adults like to play video games, they might as well create some video games on the subject called The Fantastic Food Challenge. While it's a nice idea, the games sound ridiculously boring ("place baked beans, tortillas, frozen chicken and other virtual groceries into a cartoon-drawn freezer, cupboard or refrigerator"), and unlikely to attract much attention. While the designers suggest these games are more exciting than typical "eat smart" brochures, they forget that they're not competing against those brochures, but other video games. This brings up the question, then, why must all educational games be so painfully boring?

MT Educational Licensing Still a Bit of
a Mystery 06/16/2004 04:41 PM

More MT Licensing

"If you look through the new MT Licenses, you may end up on the bottom of the Education Pricing, where you will find:

'Are you a librarian seeking to run Movable Type at your branch? We can work with you to create a custom proposal for your local or regional library system based on your needs and budget. Simply contact us to let us know how you wish to use Movable Type within your library.'

I wrote up a description of what we are doing with the software to see what sort of pricing information is available. I have yet to go through all the open-source alternatives, but I haven’t found one yet that leaped out as me as exactly what I want to move to. MT offers some flexibility that I just haven’t found anywhere else. And if the offer is reasonable, I won’t hesitate to go to our Director and make a case.

But if it isn’t, I won’t hesitate to settle on an alternative. I will write later about what is ultimately decided." [LibraryPlanet.com]

When the dust settles around here (we're concentrating all our energies on our merger with the Chicago Multitype Library System on July 1), I think I'll write up SLS' current setup for member MT blogs just to see what Six Apart comes back with. However, I'm not hopeful since money is very tight at Illinois Library Systems these days, so even a fairly small fee most likely won't help us. I'll be interested to see what alternatives other libraries use.

Principal bans bl0gging: "not
educational" 03/31/2005 02:31 AM
Cory Doctorow: A Junior/Senior High School principal in Vermont has banned in-school blogging because "blogging isn't educational."

Principal Chris Sousa said the decision to block the site from school was made because blogging is not an educational use of school computers.

But he's also urging parents to keep tabs on their children's blogging, with a particularly close eye to what personal information the student may be posting on sites like Myspace.com.

In 1988, I was the writer-in-electronic-residence for a class of grade 2/3 students in Toronto, reading and helping them with their writing via 14.4K modems using ZModem transfers. Getting them to use to computer to write, revise, and critique one another was an amazingly powerful tool for unleashing their creativity and improving their communications skills. If this prinicpal thinks blogging isn't educational, he needs his head examined: he should be seeking out every student blogger in the school and giving them special time to blog more -- and giving them extra credit besides.

FCC protects educational band in
spectrum 06/15/2004 11:44 AM

The Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) refused to allow business to compete for spots in the Instructional Television Fixed Service ( ITFS ), a part of the electromagnetic spectrum reserved for educational use since 1962. Such a move had been sought based on the underutilization of that part of the spectrum, but opposed by education groups .

The FCC's decision came during an allocation of spectrum for more wireless usage.

Educational Institutions May Lose Some
Spectrum 05/25/2004 04:20 PM
Wall Street Journal says instructional television spectrum may be resold: This interesting article looks into the FCC's exploration of reselling parts of the licensed band that's used in a very limited fashion for instructional television. While originally assigned for that purpose, only a few institutions actually use it. Institutions are allowed to sublicense 95 percent of their spectrum as long as they're broadcasting, and apparently, some groups broadcast meaningless content in order to bring in the revenue from the other licenses. The FCC is licking its lips at the sweet spot in the 2.5-2.7 GHz range that comprises ITFS/MMDS (instructional television fixed service and multichannel multipoint distribution service). Nextel, Craig McCaw, and other companies have purchased sublicenses across the band. The FCC proposal would reassign some spectrum for its own auctions, and allow educational entities to resell spectrum for new uses which could produce billions in revenue for the institutions. One scenario spun by an opponent is that California's governor could sell ITFS spectrum to help balance the state budget....
