 Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth: Edtech Archives
These schools, she said, are giving students learning opportunities to liberate them and become civic actors in their community rather than restricting them to a limited, old-fashioned curriculum that doesn't educate students in a socially-relevant context.
As I reported not too long ago, the school's principal came up with the horrible idea of requiring all students to wear RFID tags, which are essentially digital homing beacons, that would allow school officials to track their movements on campus: in the hallway, the bathroom, you name it.
Meanwhile, school principal Ernie Graham brushes off the parents' complaints, chalking it up to technophobia rather than the obvious privacy violation that it is. "Sometimes when you are on the cutting edge, you get caught," Graham said of the angry phone calls from parents.

Rather than seeking individual membership, it coordinated the activities of local organizations like the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) and the Nashville Christian Leadership Council (formed after SCLC).
"The life blood of SCLC movements," as described in one of its pamphlets, "is the masses of people who are involved--its local affiliates and chapters." To that end, SCLC trained local communities in the philosophy of Christian nonviolence, opened citizenship schools, and registered voters.
