Education Reform: Wrong Diagnosis, So Wrong Cure

My guest column in the Washington Post, 11-04-09]



Education Reform: Wrong Diagnosis, So Wrong Cure



When "Race to the Top" fails, as it will, the main reason won’t be any of those currently being advanced by the corporate interests and politicians now running the education show. It won’t fail because of lack of academic rigor, poor teaching, weak administrators, too-short school year, union resistance, differing state standards, insufficient performance incentives, sorry… Continue

Cloud Computing and all of that Jazz ( Is Education being thought of?)

I love clouds.. my first images of them are from the Charlie Brown cartoons.. I think Lucy is lying on her back in a field talking about the shapes of the cloud.. Anyway , it is what I think of first when one says clouds. Then having taken lots and lots of

trips, I think of looking at clouds out of an airplane window. Or maybe thinking of storm clouds as they form and go dark. But clouds for computing? And what's that song... fragments of it float through my mind..



There is a… Continue

Wannabe U: Inside the Corporate University

In most debates over its future, the university is represented—by both its critics and its champions—as a secular temple for learning, a sacred space freed from the more mundane concerns that trouble other institutions. But lately this lofty image looks increasingly tarnished, especially with regard to public research universities.

For ten years I have been working with HPC, ie. learning about Supercomputing. I have been working to learn. It has been a pleasure. Recently, I ran into a snag...or got run over. You decide.

I have lots of educator friends. Philosophers, visionaries and geniuses who are speakers and who talk about education and educators.



Teachers as Victims? Some Stuck in the Shallow End,

Education, Race and Computing



Many of the visionaries are not so kind to the people who stand in classrooms. I know they don't know much about the reality of teaching in various situations. I have been able to bring many to understand what it is really like to be a teacher, the… Continue
