KA SID, posting 11/7/07

It's been a long time since I posted and I'm trying to catch up.

I read a month ago:

Giving kids the business : the commercialization of America's schools by Molnar, Alex

and

Pedagogy of the oppressed by Freire, Paulo



Two weeks ago I read:

Bilingual education : history, politics, theory, and practice, Crawford, James.



I also read Questions of cultural identity by Hall, Stuart and Du Gay, Paul.



this week I read, Education and inequality : the roots and results of stratification in America's schools by Persell, Caroline Hodges. I think it is a very good explanation of the theories and had very good charts explaining how the theories and ideologies fit together.



I've also read Tsikalas, K., Gross, E. F., & Stock, E. Applying a Youth Psychology Lens to the Digital Divide: How Low-Income, Minority Adolescents Appropriate Home Computers To Meet Their Needs for Autonomy, Belonging, and Competence, and How This Affects Their Academic and Future Prospects.

And I read Timmerman, A. Introduction to the Application of Web-Based Surveys. Access ERIC: FullText. 2002-00-00o. Document Number)

Both were very helpful in understanding what kind of survey I could do.

I also read the "The Art and Science of revising Your Writing" by Mark Scanlon-Green, Ph.D. from my cluster and order 2 books he recommended on writing dissertations.
