September FNO

[Jamie McKenzie <fromnowon@EARTHLINK.NET>]

This month's issue offers four articles.  To enjoy all four
articles in their full, online versions, visit http://fno.org

This month there will be no lengthy e-mail article
but a simple listing of articles and a brief summary of each.
If the issues and topics appeal to you, please stop
by the FNO Web site.

1. Online Education: Eldorado or Fool's Gold?
by Graeme Wilson
How do we introduce online learning in ways that actually extend and
improve upon the quality of learning experiences available?

2. An End to Surfing?
by Jamie McKenzie
The New York Times reports significant shifts in adult Internet use
away from surfing. Implications for schools?

3. Building New Ideas
Part Two
by Jamie McKenzie
Expanding upon the June article of the same title, this article draws
a parallel between idea building and the construction of a grape
arbor.

4. Toolishness is Foolishness
by Jamie McKenzie
Sometimes decision-makers expect miracles and transformations to
follow the purchase and installation of equipment. This fondness for
tools and toys can be wasteful, foolish and non-productive.
