Good Teachers Are the Product of Nurture, Not Just Nature
It has become an article of faith in the Washington thinktankocracy that teachers are the most important factor in their students’ success. That’s not an entirely bad thing. What professional doesn’t want to be thought important? But think-tank dwellers often draw the wrong conclusions from this claim. Most of their talk about teachers focuses on how to fire the bad ones, hire the good ones, and pay the really good ones. Too few people spare a thought for the environment and support teachers need to succeed. 5 off No Off read more

Teacher Education and 21st Century...In the 21st century, the most perceptive educational thinkers recognize that something new is happening to learning. Models of providing an education that developed to meet the needs of students of the last two centuries, while not irrelevant, are increasingly being transformed and infiltrated by the introduction and integration of new tools and technologies, and novel approaches to work, many of which are now commonplace in business and consumer spheres. The emphasis on collaboration and critical thinking to solve problems, and the flattening of the world of commerce are challenging the fundamental assumptions of what an education must provide to its young people in order for them to succeed or even cope in a complex world.

Amplitube 3 versus Guitar Rig 4...I decided to do a quick shootout between IK Multimedia's Amplitube 3 and Native Instruments Guitar Rig 4. In the first section I use the same amp models and settings to make direct comparisons and in the second section I create the best sound from a similar selected amp model in each program. I used my Suhr S4 plugged directly into a Tapco Firewire interface and ran both programs as a plugin for Ableton Live. Each example is the same audio sample duplicated and reamped with the alternative program.
