What's the best way to learn things?
First of all, as a computer science trainer for many years, I'm biased to classroom training.

I will adjust my presentation if needed so that the majority of the audience understands. There's always that minority that needs more help. Also, as a student, getting one on one help is the best way to learn. However, as you might know, there might not be a class in what you need to learn...

Intel does an about face supporting education pc program
Over the summer, I blogged about Intel supporting the One Laptop Per Child Program and today I learn that they have stopped supporting the program. Doesn't make sense to me why you would agree and then less than six months later you pull out all together. The mission of this non-profit association is to develop a low-cost laptop—the "$100 Laptop"—a technology that could revolutionize how we educate the world's children. The goal is to provide children around the world with new opportunities to explore,...

Quick observation
Yesterday I attended the Computer Science & Information Technology Symposium that was held at the Omni Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. For the past several years, I've been a speaker at this event and this was the second time that I've attended as a registrant. I always look forward to this event because it gives me a chance to see some old friends and to meet new friends as well. In addition, it helps me learn new ways to teach computer science education. I attended sessions on robotics, the Grid...
