Reportage från Rongcheng. Orwellian? "The party is using both coercion and cooperation to integrate the scheme into people’s lives and have it bring benefits to them. “To me, that’s what makes it Orwellian,” says Hoffman of IISS. The social credit system provides incentives for people to not want to be on a blacklist. “It’s a preemptive way of shaping the way people think and shaping the way people act,” she says. And to the extent that people believe they can benefit socially and economically from the Communist Party staying in power, the system is working."

Mary Einbinder, Dec 2011: "In A Brief History of Neoliberalism, David Harvey, a geographer and Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at CUNY, portrays the process of globalization through an economic perspective. Harvey describes the gradual shift throughout the global market towards economic and social policies that progressively gave an increased liberality and centrality to markets, market processes, and to the interests of capital. Harvey sets his analysis in the context of the rise of neoliberalism.
"Berit Berg ble den første prosjektlederen. Noe av det første som ble gjort, var å sikre et nytt opptrykk av den lille bildeboka ”Bamse” av Grete Janus og Mogens Hertz, den samme som Markaryd hadde delt ut til sine yngste innbyggere. Boka var så gammel som fra 1968, og da forlaget, Cappelen, ikke lenger ønsket å trykke flere opplag, fikk Øvre Eiker kommune overta boka og figurerer nå som forlegger. "

Inside Higher Education:"... Momtchiloff said the publisher is revamping how it generates PDF files from its titles, which could potentially produce files that more closely resemble the source. ... Despite Momtchiloff's response, Pasnau said he wasn't convinced the publisher will make the platform more useful for researchers. ... "They'll presumably fix the worst of the problems I pointed out, but this basic procedural problem remains," Pasnau wrote in the email. "It simply takes a great deal of hard work to change the format of a book so radically and then expect it to be displayed properly. It's like going through a whole second production process."

I höst inleds det tvååriga pilotprojektet e-skolan i 15 skolor i Svenskfinland. I Östnyland är åtminstone Södra Paipis skola och Boxby skola i Sibbo med. I Södra Paipis är tanken att möjligen också involvera förskolan. Projektet kommer att ge skolorna tillgång till tusentals e-böcker. Målet är att öka elevernas läsintresse och stöda lärarna i deras arbete med litteratur och läsning. I e-skolan ingår inte läromedel. - e-skolan föddes ur ett behov att ge lärare fler verktyg för att inspirera elever till ökad läsning, säger Ant Simons - Vd för Kulturhuset Ab, som förverkligar projektet.

Lärarnas Nyheter/Lärarnas tidning 15.11.2012: "Forskargruppen Sociology of Education and Culture (SEC) vid Uppsala universitet har under ledning av professor Donald Broady tagit fram ett omfattande statistiskt underlag som visar på en tydlig förskjutning av lärarstudenternas förutsättningar. De så kallat lågpresterande har ökat markant. Andelen lärarstudenter med gymnasiebetyg under meritvärdet 12 har tredubblats sedan början av 1990-talet, och utgör numera mer än en femtedel."
By Ed Bott for The Ed Bott Report | January 22, 2012 "For nearly two years, Apple has wooed digital book publishers and authors with its unconditional support of the open EPUB standard. With last week's introduction of iBooks 2.0, Apple has deliberately locked out that standard. Here's why you should care." "Cynically, Apple is positioning this authoring tool and the new format as the savior of K-12 education. All school districts have to do is buy one iPad for every student and buy textbooks through the iTunes Store, and their problems are solved. Wrapping themselves in the education flag is a transparent attempt to win praise and deflect criticism."

I Bokbamsetilbudet ligger det et stort ønske om å inspirere foreldre til å lese for barna sine."
Lynn Margulis: "The persistent problem is how to wake up public awareness, especially in the global scientifically literate public, of the overwhelming evidence that the three buildings collapsed by controlled demolition. . . . We, on the basis of hard evidence, must conclude that the petroleum fires related to the aircraft crashes were irrelevant (except perhaps as a cover story)."

It's not that HyperCard or Director is the answer, but I am just pointing out the lack of really good tools available for amateurs and professionals to use to create new kinds of applications for the iPad. HyperCard was not only used by The Voyager Company; it was used by teachers to create coursework; or students to prepare a report; it was used by individuals to develop novelty applications like recipe databases. We had highly produced, professional applications and mostly free shareware apps. Making it easy to create content and increasing the number of people who can create applications for the iPad could be very important to its long-term success. The web has made producers of us all. If the iPad is just another consumer platform for consuming and not creating content, then it will just be another way to watch TV or listen to music or download information. Convenient, yes, but just another device. To be something different, the iPad must not be just a delivery platform but a creative one, offering professionals and amateurs an opportunity to create a unique experience with interactive media.
Sida 13 sept 2011: "Idéerna till de projekt som får stöd av Sida kommer därför från nätaktivisterna själva. Satsningarna handlar bland annat om utbildning till MR-aktivister, demokratiaktivister och journalister om IT-säkerhet och hur man kringgår censur och filtrering. Det kan också röra utbildning i medborgarjournalistisk on-line, för att hjälpa samhällsengagerade bloggare att nå ut och uppbyggnad av nätportaler. Vi stöder också utveckling och distribution av tekniska lösningar, som exempelvis operativsystem som gör det möjligt att surfa anonymt utan att lämna digitala spår. "
