Continuing on the "technology in education" theme

I heard a great story on NPR this morning about the concept of the high school of the future. This is a great story for two reasons. First, it is a great example of how technology can truly change the way we learn. Secondly, this is an inspirational story of change for a community that really needed a boost. Kudos to Microsoft for participating and lending time and planning resources to the endenvour.

The next story on NPR had to do with back-dating of stock options. Ugh! Why do some organizations feel that they can get away with this type of practice. It's in poor judgement and unethical at best and perhaps illegal as well.
