- So this is the way it works, now. Read Thomas Friedman about how the World is Flat and that the Chinese are immersing their kids in the study of math and science and pumping out engineers at a rapid clip, and then, just to make sure, ring up an edublogger in Shanghai using a free Internet phone service to do some fact checking. I got to spend about 20 mintues on a Skype call chatting with Jeff Utecht this afternoon (about 5 am his time) about what it's like to teach in China, the state of the Chinese blogosphere, and what Chinese kids do after school. It was really interesting on a number of levels, first the incredible quality of the call from literally half a world away, and second, obviously, getting the lowdown on whether Friedman is just trying to scare our socks off or really telling it like it is. (Apparently, it's the latter, which seems to provoke the former in quite a few people these days. |

- So we're at the point in our teacher model pilot that we want to add some curricular management systems to the mix with the hope of settling on one in the spring to implement in fall. We've been working with Moodle, which we like, but it doesn't have the tie in to our student information system that we would like (I don't think, at least.) We've also decided to look at Blackboard and Sharepoint (though not too enthusiastically on my part), and I'm personally interested in .LRN, the developers of which I met at the originaly BloggerCon so many years (two) ago. So I'm wondering if anyone out there has any other suggestions to consider. |

- Ahead of World AIDS Day tomorrow, Jubilee USA Network today released a brief report, Deadly Delays: How IMF/World Bank Economic Policies Undermine Debt Cancellation, which analyzes economic policies of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank in four countries: Zambia, Cameroon, Malawi, and Nicaragua. The report finds that impoverished countries continue to face serious delays in receiving debt cancellation due to their failure to implement controversial and often harmful economic policies of the IMF and World Bank. Such one-size fits all economic policies have undermined health and other social sector programs that are urgently needed to help fight HIV/AIDS. |

- Core Technologies for Developing a Digital Community FrameworkCommunities across the world see the future - and it is a digital future. What's driving these communities to go digital include the need for better security, reduced costs of running the government, and better citizen-government relations. In the past, many governments implemented applications as silos of technology. In the digital-age, we are better off designing an architecture which scales as our network grows, which it surely will.Police seize cocaine, assault rifles in raidPolice found crack cocaine, four assault rifles, a handgun and digital scales while raiding an eastside home Thursday night. |

- The Kitchen Scale ManifestoWe bought a snazzy digital kitchen scale the other day, because our old scale was dying. And then, completly by coincidence, I came upon The Kitchen Scale Manifesto at eGullet: In modern home kitchens in Europe, a kitchen scale is standard equipment. In the US, one rarely sees them except in the kitchens of compulsive dieters and very serious amateur pastry chefs. Because most people in Europe have scales, recipes generally specify quantities of bulk dry ingredients as weights. |
