When reduced to its most fundamental elements, public education is cold, hard

7) News Aggregators: Aggregators: the good ones vs. the looters 
http://www.mondaynote.com/2010/09/19/aggregators-the-good-ones-vs-the-looters/
the under-investment in technology is publishers? most dangerous mistake. And 
the gap is widening: if you have a doubt, compare the growth of the HuffPo to 
what other big online news outlets achieve. With no weight from the past, 
superblog-aggregators have been free to integrate the best of the marketing and 
traffic technologies.

8) On September 7, the Department and the National Education Association (NEA) 
Foundation launched a new program for teachers to identify and solve 
education?s most pressing classroom challenges.  ?Challenge to Innovate? (C2i) 
enlists teachers to think creatively and implement innovative classroom ideas.  
C2i also recognizes the urgency of improvement by providing a new model that 
moves rapidly from idea conception to implementation and evaluation, while 
simultaneously supplying critical support to educators.  The Department?s Open 
Innovation Portal at https://innovation.ed.gov/ will host the three-phase C2i.  
Phase 1, through October 19, asks teachers to share their most pressing 
classroom challenges that can be solved with $500 or less.  The five ideas 
receiving the most votes -- judged by the portal?s community -- will receive 
$1,000 from the NEA Foundation.  In Phase 2, from November 16 through January 
14, teachers will post the best solutions to the five winning challenges.  Up 
to 10 solutions will receive a $2,500 implementation grant from the NEA 
Foundation.  In Phase 3, from January 17 through February 4, the NEA Foundation 
will select up to three solutions to receive a $5,000 planning grant and 
technical support.  These solutions will be posted on the Donors Choose web 
site at http://www.donorschoose.org/, where teachers will be invited to submit 
requests to receive up to $500 in implementation costs.  The NEA Foundation, 
with citizen philanthropists, will provide the funding for teachers to 
implement and test these innovation solutions.
