Qualitative Research: Using Technology in Class
This is a wonderful example of what I like to see, a reprise of a qualitative study into the uses of technology in the regular progression of improving students' use of technology while teaching class at the college level. Any teacher could use Ed Webb's protocol and replicate this research in their class.
A teacher could even expand on this research by giving a formal pre-post test of technology skills and an interest inventory. Using Google Forms, a teacher could easily present the tests and survey (inventory).

Study Finds That Online Education Beats the Classroom - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com
though I'm personally wanting to believe this meta-analysis, I would like to see references to the studies that were cited. SRI is a great group, yet they are owned by a larger corporation, Pearson, that has all kinds of relationships and online classes for universtities.
I would like to see references and sources of data that have NO connection to SRI or Pearson, to get an unbiased look at the research.

History of organic farming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
a good example of why we should not depend on wikipedia; the information in this article covers very little of the work of JI Rodale, his son and family;
Others consider this article biased because of its assumption that organic farming is superior to conventional farming (whatever conventional means)
