hi everyone -
apple computer feels that learning happens only at K-12 schools and
colleges. that point of view is ingrained into their corporate
culture.
see apple's tiger educator evaluation program for one more instance of this.
http://www.apple.com/education/tigerevaluation/
it's a pretty sad reflection on the company that its outlook is so limited.
we who are outside-of-school educators feel that learning goes on
everywhere at all times. and we feel you don't have to be a K-12 teacher
or a college professor to be an impassioned and effective educator.
apple hasn't yet heard of outside-of-school learning. we need to teach
them. the question on the table is can a company involved in education
learn. can they learn? let's hope they can.
if you feel this is an issue that needs some public attention,
you can link from your blog to the blog posting
http://www.digitaldivide.net/blog/pshapiro/view?PostID=3078
adding your own comments and point of view. if you don't have
a blog yet, you can set one up for free quite easily at
http://www.blogger.com
or, even better, the Digital Divide Network offers free blogging.

do please send me any questions you might have about
starting a blog. our collective voice is only as strong as
the quantity and quality of our blogging. our cause is only
as powerful as we are cohesive.
- phil
