Age of Trump: Re-reading Anthony Lewis’ eloquent ode to freedom of the press
Freedom of speech and of the press as we understand them today did not spring wholly formed from the minds of the Founders. For more than a century after it was enacted, the First Amendment received little more than lip service. John Adams imprisoned his critics under the Sedition Act, as did Abraham Lincoln during […]

Believe it or not, it would involve grinding trees into pulp, transforming that pulp into paper, printing news articles, photos, and ads on that paper, and then loading […]

Tax code isn’t rocket science – it’s worse

Wearable learning
I would argue that there’s another, more immediate educational use for wearables, one that students can benefit from even without laying their hands on the hardware: dreaming up software for the devices. In this month’s story on using Google Glass in the classroom, we found three early-adopter institutions encouraging students to design apps for the […]
