Literary Reference Center - powered by EBSCOhost: Of mice and men on 2009-11-04
- Perhaps it is the mouse's persistent presence in our domestic environment that has helped it become a muse for poets down the ages.
- ouse as proxy for human social philosophy is no longer the only facet of the relationship.
Gale Literary Databases - Document on 2009-11-04
- Most readers of East of Eden will recognize in the above statement a rather unsubtle paraphrase of Steinbeck's own comments within the novel concerning the nature of his creation called Cathy Ames Trask.
- The slow, sprawling, omnivorous quality of East of Eden has long disturbed some readers, as have the obvious drops in temperature, the intellectual and emotional laxity, and the novel's tendency to split into dual narratives that don't seem to come together for every critic in a convincing manner.
Race and the Brain - TIME on 2009-11-03
- When respondents are told to link the desirable traits to whites and the undesirable ones to blacks, their fingers fairly fly on the keys. When the task is switched, with whites being labeled failures and blacks called glorious, fingers slow considerably, a sure sign the brain is struggling.

    This reminds me of the 1940's study (recently replicated) about which dolls girls wanted to play with. Video link: http://i.abcnews.com/GMA/story?id=7213714&page=1.

    Yet the amygdala is key in adolescent brain development. . .

Students tap into technology - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on 2009-02-23
- Classrooms for the Future
  - Kellie 80 on 2009-02-23
    
    Okay - I'll admit this is a picky point, but I find the title of this grant interesting. It's not "Learners of the Future" but "Classrooms of the Future." While I think it is (obviously) important to have classroom technology in place, I think it's more important to have student-based pedagogy in place. Hopefully that will be a result of this grant funding.
- "Technology is the wave of the future,"
  - Kellie 80 on 2009-02-23
    
    Wave of the future or wave of the present/past? Nice to see that they are trying to get some basics into classrooms, but this doesn't sound to me like the instruction itself has changed.
  - Kellie 80 on 2009-02-23
    
    Wave of the future or wave of the present? The tools being talked about here are not exactly "new" technologies, but I like that they are at least recognizing value.

- - a recent study by the Department of Education showed that the Classrooms for the Future program was largely successful.
    Kellie 80 on 2009-02-23
    
    Would like to see what this report said. In what ways was the success measured?
  - "We can no longer just deliver a lecture and expect all the kids to get it."

    I wish more had been said about this. Sounds like the lectures are changing, but I'd like to have seen more information about how they are changing the learning with technology. Lot of focus on IWBs here, less on laptops.
