Furthermore,
some studies have found a relation between the level of college cheating and a country’s corruption index (Magnus et al. 2002). Since corruption and lack of business ethics constitute an impediment to growth (Wilhelm 2002), addressing academic integrity issues may be especially important in developing countries. -
However, little work has been done to investigate the relationship between contextual factors (e.g., the severity of penalties
for cheating; student and faculty understanding of campus integrity policies; the likelihood a student might be reported for
cheating; and the perception by students of peer cheating behavior) and academic dishonesty in other cultures. - 5 more annotations...

Orlando Sentinel - Is cursive writing doomed in the computer age? by
-
The decline of cursive is happening as students are doing more and
more work on computers, including writing. In 2011, the writing test of
the National Assessment of Educational Progress will require 8th and
11th graders to compose on computers, with 4th graders following in
2019. -

In the spring of 2007, Google conceded that until then it had stored every
single search query ever entered by each of its users, and every single
search result a user subsequently clicked on to access it. By keeping the
massive amount of search terms – about 30 billion search queries reach
Google every month – neatly organised, Google is able to link them to
demographics. For example, Google can show search query trends, even years
later. It can tell us how often "Iraq" was searched for in
Indianapolis in the fall of 2006, or which terms the Atlanta middle class
sought most in the 2007 Christmas season. More importantly, though, by
cleverly combining log-in data, cookies, and IP addresses, Google is able to
connect search queries to a particular individual across time – with
impressive precision. -
Google has since announced that it will no longer keep individualised records
forever, but will anonymise them after a period of nine months, erasing some
of its comprehensive memory.
