The Intersection of Algebra and Technology - O'Reilly Broadcast
By Tracey Pilone
There's been a lot of talk about the role of technology in education recently. In part, because the economic stimulus plan has various provisions ($650 Million for Enhancing Education through Technology) that deal with it, and in part because it has been a fairly constant issue in education since the technology was created.

O'Reilly Books for Barack--What Should We Send the White House? - O'Reilly ...
By Sara Peyton
We can't help but feel concerned that Barack Obama, the most technologically-connected President ever, faces an out-of-date, inefficient technological platform. According to news accounts the executive branch's computer and technology equipment is a "jumble of disconnected phone lines, old computer software, and security regulations forbidding outside e-mail accounts." We know our books could help Barack and his staff sort out the wiring, upgrade the software, and create secure networks. That's why we want to send the new White House staff a box of O'Reilly books. And we want your input.
