Although the bill would have shifted emphasis away from standardized testing, Brown \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/post/gov-jerry-brown-blasts-data-based-school-reform/2011/10/09/gIQAZff2XL_blog.html\">blasted\u003c/a> the reform: “SB547 nowhere mentions good character or love of learning. It does allude to student excitement and creativity, but does not take these qualities seriously because they can’t be placed in a data stream. Lost in the bill’s turgid mandates is any recognition that quality is fundamentally different from quantity.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Governor Brown did sign into legislation the California \"\u003ca href=\"http://chronicle.com/article/article-content/129330\">Dream Act\u003c/a>,\" allowing illegal immigrants who graduated from high school in the state to apply to its public universities as residents and to receive state financial aid for college.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rey Junco continues to \u003ca href=\"http://blog.reyjunco.com/facebook-and-academic-performance\">publish\u003c/a> interesting research on how Facebook is impacting students' academic performance. Among his latest findings: \"Time spent on Facebook was negatively related to overall college GPA. The average time students spent on Facebook was 106 minutes per day. Each increase of 93 minutes beyond the mean decreased GPA by .12 points in the model. Therefore, I conclude that although this was a significant finding, the real-world impact of the relationship between time spent on Facebook and grades is negligible at best.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Last year, the National Federation of the Blind filed a complaint against Penn State, charging that the school's adoption of Google Apps for Education was discriminatory.

Not a reader. A wirter. As the Stanford News describes it, the tool works like such: \"They did not create virtual keys that the fingertips must find; they made keys that find the fingertips. The user simply touches eight fingertips to the glass, and the keys orient themselves to the fingers. If the user becomes disoriented, a reset is as easy as lifting all eight fingers off the glass and putting them down again.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The Association of Educational Publishers and Creative Commons have launched a new website, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lrmi.net/\">LMRI.net\u003c/a> to provide information about the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative.
