(2007-03-15) Nyc80m Computer Education

NYC will spend $80m on a computer system to analyze Public School student performance? IBM's ARIS system (it's not an existing system, it's a custom-integration and build!). Mike Bloomberg's an ass. The system will also include the recently introduced Lotus Connections suite of Social Networking tools for creating wikis and blogs that teachers can use to communicate. Fear and loathing in Educating Kids In Nyc.

Heh.
