Nowhere to Go But Up For Internet Marketing

Describing the Internet as “the most underutilized advertising medium that’s out there,” Morgan Stanley managing director Mary Meeker said broadband adoption, mobile device usage and international growth are opening up a variety of opportunities for marketers, entrepreneurs and investors.

I caught this program on NPR the other day, School Features Real-World Learning, No Grades.

It’s hard to imagine a school with no tests, no grades and no classes. But those familiar elements of education are missing at two dozen Big Picture schools in six states, each with no more than 120 students.

The results are pretty impressive.

The school measures its success in many ways — standardized achievement scores are higher than those at the three largest Providence high schools — but parents are most excited by these statistics: Almost every senior gets into college, 80 percent go to college, and five years later, most of those students are still in college or have graduated.

Lessons Learned

Posted by John

Shelly is out of town this weekend so I did the grocery shopping this evening. I came back with $45 in junk food. This is why I shouldn’t do the grocery shopping.

While Shelly is out of town I thought I would get the car washed. It was sunny and almost 80 today. It’s raining right now. This is why I shouldn’t decide when to wash the car.
