In Our Feeds: E-learning, books that break stereotypes, and e-book incompatibility

By on February 11th, 2011

We’re reviving an OOM tradition today! Every Friday, we’ll share a handful of links we found interesting, provocative, funny — or just plain cool. We call it In Our Feeds. Enjoy!

As more and more public school students take virtual courses, will full-time e-learning opportunities only be a good option for students with involved parents? (Ed Week)

NY Times’ Motherlode blog gives a nice list of children’s books that help break down traditional stereotypes. (NYTimes.com) Aside: OOM blogger Michael Strouse wishes he’d seen Cornelia Funke books on this list.

How hard should you fight to keep reading a book? Publisher’s Weekly takes on this question. (PW) And it’s a question we’ve contemplated on OOM before.

Is the issue of incompatibility between e-book formats going to make it next to impossible for consumers to easily grab a book to read from their “pile” in the future? (PC World)

Should major contributors to parochial schools be given a bigger say in how the school is run? NY Times reports that more of them are looking for decision-making power. (NY Times)
