Fantastic rant about an anti-technology "study" - which was sorely lacking in sense. Clay is one of my favorite bloggers, about education and politics and life in general, and this is one of his best rants - his other blog is all about fighting "schooly-ness" in education, and he continues that theme here. READ THIS if you want to use technology in the classroom!

two examples showing how blind the UCLA research was to today's possibilities, how behind the times.... It's easy, efficient, and turbo-effective literacy, research, and information management. It's unique to the Berners-Lee Age. Gutenberg would have loved it. Some high-profile "researchers" apparently know little of it.

This is good - I think this, in the end, gets back to the need for non-college track education. In our rush to educate everyone, we've forgotten that some people would be happier as mechanics and carpenters, and also that we need them! There is so much pressure on teachers, on kids with NCLB and high stakes testing - in California they can't pass High School without Algebra, but what about shop classes and the like? These are just as important for many students - a well-rounded education should include many things, not just the college track academic subjects.

Very good blog post - this is exactly what I experienced in the classroom, and why I'm not there now. It is dehumanizing.

We live in two Americas. One America, now the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world. It can cope with complexity and has the intellectual tools to separate illusion from truth. The other America, which constitutes the majority, exists in a non-reality-based belief system. This America, dependent on skillfully manipulated images for information, has severed itself from the literate, print-based culture. It cannot differentiate between lies and truth. It is informed by simplistic, childish narratives and clichés. It is thrown into confusion by ambiguity, nuance and self-reflection. This divide, more than race, class or gender, more than rural or urban, believer or nonbeliever, red state or blue state, has split the country into radically distinct, unbridgeable and antagonistic entities.

Yay for brains! \n\n"Barack Obama’s election is a milestone in more than his pigmentation. The second most remarkable thing about his election is that American voters have just picked a president who is an open, out-of-the-closet, practicing intellectual."\n

Very thoughtful, honest article about evolving attitudes about race, from a personal perspective yet gracefully translated to a national perspective. I love this blog.
