Dave's Link: Wikileaks [6]. What does it mean for our classrooms? With Australia banning links to the site [7]... where does this lead? Do textbooks of 'controlled content' become more important? Should we be teaching this in courses? Do we have a patriotic duty not to touch this information?
John's Link: Project Red: Do 1:1 right or don't do it at all [8]. We're far enough along now that the novelty of 1:1 programs has worn off, and it's time to look at what effect they really have on a school. With many more schools now looking at 1:1 programs, it's important to look at best practices. For those thinking about 1:1 programs, the CDW 1:1 Readiness Survey [9]is a great place to start.

19:11:21 kolism : thank you.
19:11:25 guest : @kolism...It took me a minute too ...
19:12:50 Harold Jarche : It's not a private journal - it's official channels, which means someone has vetted this stuff - it belongs to the organization (wikileaks)
19:14:12 Harold Jarche : personal privacy is not the same as hiding the discretions of organizations, esopecially those purporting to represent us in a democratic country

19:24:48 darryl : That is better
19:24:54 kolism : That worked!
