6) SHARE THIS WITH YOUR STUDENTS ! ! !
New Ways to Exploit Raw Data the raw material of the information economy, but
the business world is just beginning to learn how to process it all. What the
College Board and ACT have done, under the radar screen of parents and
regulators, is turn the teens educational pursuits into a profit-making
opportunity. Consumer groups said that the nonprofit College Board, which owns
the SAT college admission test, and its nonprofit rival, ACT Inc., are making
money by selling personal details about teenagers.

7) Trash Curriculum
Maybe this curriculum is really not about trash cans and rivers, but about
democracy. Practicing democracy is necessary, because it?s not a natural
act.It would teach other lessons as well: information is power, collaboration
produces strength, social policies have consequences, and they themselves are
not merely numbers or test scores but sentient, thinking individuals with
potential. They matter.

9) Educational Children?s Games can transform our approach to those things we
know we should do. We crave, "satisfying work" that allows us to be "optimistic
about our own chances for success"; that involves "social connection"; and that
allows us to feel "curiosity, awe and wonder". ~ Jane McGonigal
