    • For example, if your gross monthly income is $4,000, your monthly principal, interest, hazard insurance, and property tax payment (often referred to as PITI) should not exceed $1,120—which is 28 percent of $4,000. When you include other expenses such as credit cards, child support, car loans, and other obligations, your total monthly debt payments should not exceed $1,440—which is 36 percent of $4,000.


      If you have outstanding short-term loans (three to six months) or credit card debts that cause your debt-payment total to exceed the percentage limits, you should consider paying off the loans before applying for new credit.

      Maine on Tuesday said it has ordered 64,000 Apple laptops, marking a big win for the Mac maker and a major expansion of the state's technology initiative for middle and high school students.


      The massive order stems from the state Department of Education's decision to expand the Maine Learning Technology Initiative into all public high schools. Maine has been providing Apple MacBooks to middle school students and faculty under the MLTI since 2002. Apple had to compete with other computer makers for the first and the latest contracts, the state said.

    • Students at U. of Southern California Develop Summer-Education Site


      When the Los Angeles Unified School District announced at the end of May that it planned to cancel summer school, the latest result of California’s multibillion-dollar cuts to education, it estimated 225,000 students would be without the courses they need to stay at grade level or get ahead.



      Now some of those students are taking advantage of an alternative to summer school on the Web — SOS Classroom, a collection of free educational Web sites, videos, and games. Educators and others submit material to be considered for the collection using Web 2.0 tools, and the materials are compiled by students in an advanced writing course at the University of Southern California.

    • A California Dream: Saving State Universities With an Online Campus


      Of the four universities linked originally by the proto-Internet in 1969, two of them were part of the University of California system: the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara campuses. Now, as the system grapples with a staggering budget crisis that might close institutions and forever alter what’s considered one of the crown jewels of public education, a proposal comes suggesting that salvation lies in going online.

        Cloud Computing holds great promise for education institutions to broaden and improve services for students, faculty and staff. But what is Cloud Computing, and how can it lower the costs for education? There are many views of the "cloud", depending on whether you are a provider or consumer of IT services.



        This March, 2009 Special Report from eSchool/eCampus News explores the current technology and applications of cloud computing in both K-12 and higher education. Several institutions using cloud computing today are profiled in their use of cloud computing to provide support for classroom and teaching purposes, administrative applications and desktop virtualization services.
