    Amazing to see a seaside in a capital city that's not commercially developed and monopolized by rich people. Very cozy and intimate.

    This is the Mark Pilgrim Thesis, an important lesson for all the newbs.
Language politics: Germany, Japan, Cote d'Ivoire - James Fallows on 2009-11-02
- the thing about English is that the first stages of learning the language are easy -- anyone can learn it. And then comes the huge chasm to true fluency. English's vast vocabulary creates endless nuance in expression, which is just damnably difficult to master.

    I'd always wondered about this. Nice to hear it stated explicitly.

    Not just schools; we should send teachers too.

    Marshall plan, plus a boatload of civilian advisors: engineers, farmers, civil servants, teachers, librarians, etc.
Culture Clash: Letter from China : The New Yorker on 2009-10-20
- China’s most eloquent case
  - Micah Sittig on 2009-10-20
    
    China really does have an eloquent case to make, which so many people already appreciate *in spite* of the government's "behavior".
Does the Brain Like E-Books? - Room for Debate Blog - NYTimes.com on 2009-10-19
- But these ideas seem increasingly bizarre in a world where (in any decent-sized gathering of students) you can practically see the text messages buzz around the room and bounce off the walls, each as memorable as a housefly
  - Micah Sittig on 2009-10-16
    
    I don't they are bizarre at all. These "deep reading" skills are not obvious, but they are very valuable, increasingly rare and should definitely be taught.
- I wonder about young people, who do not know of a life before the Internet, and who, growing up “digitized,” might not prefer reading online where they are the pilots of their own information pathways.

    Maryanne Wolf makes the same point up above. I'd reference research on Twitter that shows that it's mainly 30-50 year-olds who have fallen under its spell, and how the "digital natives" (still uncomfortable using that term) of the next generation see social networks through a much more utilitarian lens.

- WHAT IS MODELING INSTRUCTION?

    Does this webpage actually answer the question posed in the title? I see a big mishmash of ideas, but no clear statement on what modeling is.
