A Call to Restructure Restructuring
A new Center on Education Policy report found that seven percent of all Title I schools in the country are now in "restructuring," meaning they were unable to make AYP for five consecutive years. Think about that number for a moment. Seven percent. We hear all the time how awful NCLB is and how it identifies too many schools as failing, but seven percent of persistent underperformers really isn't very high at all.
Bit Pakkit - Small amounts of information bundled together
Based on surveys with 13,000 people in 17 countries, the study investigated online behavior and attitudes towards social media and networks. The good news, methodologies aside, was that at least 70% of Americans know what a social network is, which is much higher than the overall average. Canada however has a higher percentage of adoption. Overall membership in the Synovate survey stood at 26% of all adults with variance between countries with high membership rates that seems to pattern in a way that would be consistent with the network effect - more friends online means more adoption.

In Age of Right Brain, Wikis Hold Key to Success
Wikis are good for the right brain, and the creative process, since they don’t bog you down with complex steps and processes - the domain of the left brain.
-
…now that computers can emulate many of the sequential skills of the brain’s left hemisphere — the part that sees the individual trees in a forest — the author Daniel Pink argues that it’s time for our imaginative right brain, which sees the entire forest all at once, to take center stage.
Wikis are good for the right brain, and the creative process, since they don’t bog you down with complex steps and processes - the domain of the left brain.
The absence of those left brain elements means you’ll be able to concentrate more fully on activities that require right brain thinking - for instance, adding your perspective to the document draft written by a colleague, and making sure that perspective takes into account the larger context of her contributions and the document as a whole.
