Christopher D. Sessums - Student Achievement and Technology - Christopher D. Sessums : Weblog
I agree with the sentiments expressed in this post. Asked whether technology improves student learning, the first response may be to say that there are other factors involved, and then to hunt about for those surveys that point to a grade increase. But this is the correct response: "Because the technology becomes part of a complex network of changes, its impact cannot be reduced to a simple cause-and-effect model that would provide a definitive answer to how it has improved student achievement."

a Hack - Rails' Ridiculous Restrictions, a Rant - The Joel on Software Discussion Group
Readers will be aware of my explorations of Ruby on Rails last fall, a project I eventually abandoned. This article nicely illustrates in a manner much better than I could the reasons why.

Christian Long - think:lab Closing Its Doors in 12 Days - think:lab
Christian Long has decided to shut down his blog. "when a 'successful' blog simply becomes better and better at 'Hey, look at my links!', and doesn't fulfill its genetic promise to be a collectively-owned conversation that ebbs and flows like a young river growing larger and larger as its meander pulls in the river bank little by little until its a wiser and more powerful river following its destined call towards the larger seas... then something precious is getting lost." That's an awful lot to ask of a blog, or of anything, for that matter. Still, I'm sympa From
