Visual Art as Critical Thinking We've heard this story before. The first thing to go in budget cuts is the visual art program or another related art. Proponents of arts education counter with the usual rhetoric on the importance of self-expression and creativity. I, myself, am a product of arts education. From the early age of kindergarten I was in musical theater. Well, I have another argument to advocate for arts education. I had the privilege of visiting High Tech High and Middle in San Diego, California. Chris Uyeda was nice enough to sit down with me to talk about a recent chemistry project by his students. A colleague of mine, Dayna Laur, a social studies teacher at Central High School in York, Pennsylvania, worked with her art teacher colleague Katlyn Wolfgang to ingrate the study of art and politics. Teachers, your mission is finding ways to integrate art into the core subjects.

Jobs Jabs At Google, Google Jabs Back -- InformationWeek During Wednesday's Apple press conference, CEO Steve Jobs took a not-too-subtle shot at Google and its Android platform. Google responded. Most Apple press conferences start off with some statistics and state-of-the-company type stuff. Wednesday was no different, and Jobs noted that Apple is activating 230,000 iOS-based devices per day. He made sure to specify that that's 230,000 new devices being activated each day. That figure includes iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. Google's CEO Eric Schmidt recently let fly that the company is activating 200,000 new Android handsets per day. Steve Jobs said, "We think some of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers." A Google spokesperson to Fortune, "The Android activation numbers do not include upgrades and are, in fact, only a portion of the Android devices in the market since we only include devices that have Google services."
