Park City High School teacher Paula Baltzan is holding daily reviews for the AP world history test over Skype, a free Internet calling service. She held her first 90-minute review on Friday and her second on Monday for a handful of students. The students read review notes posted on Baltzan's school Web page and then
discussed and asked questions over Skype. Baltzan said she can hold reviews for up to 23 students at once using the service.Advertisement<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

For anything to become part of a learning culture, it has to be easy to use, and the ROI has to be high. Skype for review sessions when the other option is no review for AP exams is a very high ROI.
Notice that the focus of the article is on higher achieving students. Would this hold true for students who are in regular or college prep classes? - on 2009-05-05

This is from the BBC. I wish the interface used some of the white space to display the text from the article.

An interesting site that allows you to read and judge for yourself (and vote) on whether a story has a left or right spin.

Nicholas Kristof's take on the changing behaviors of Americans in regard to news consumption and intellectual "sparring."
Bad News for Newspapers - Interactive Graphic - NYTimes.com
This graphic is telling about the state of the newspaper business model. What I question, a little, is the rise in profits shown at the bottom for the NYT.

How great is this? Techmeme for politics! Plus, if you install the Greasemonkey script, it highlights conservative v. liberal articles.

This has potential for all of those that are wondering about how to help students decipher media.
