Forbes posted video coverage of Intel’s ClassMate, a low cost $225 laptop. So many choices for the emerging markets around the world that traditionally have not participated in global communications in the classroom. It will be interesting to see how access will impact those classrooms.

eSchool News is reporting that Rep. George Miller, the chairman of the House Education Committee, wants to add 21st century skills, “such as problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration” to a renewal of the No Child Left Behind Act. As with any legislation, time will tell if these changes will be included, be effective, or even be passed at all.
