It i undervisningen ökar i snabb takt. Drygt en tredjedel av lärarna använder nu it i de flesta av sina lektioner. Men när det gäller it-baserade läromedel är missnöjet stort. Enligt forskare beror det på skolornas skrala ekonomi: alla pengar har gått åt till elevdatorer.

En rwandier som väntades presentera bevis i Frankrike som rör folkmordet i Rwanda har kidnappats, uppger mannens advokat. Emile Gafirita skulle vittna i samband med en utredning kring nedskjutningen av Rwandas dåvarande president Juvénal Habyarimanas flygplan 1994, en händelse som ses som den tändande gnistan för folkmordet i Rwanda.

Det är vanligare än man trott att köpare av sms-biljetter för kollektivtrafik får betala dubbelt. En kontroll som Västtrafik gjort visar att felet uppstår i genomsnitt en gång per 5 000 köp, skriver Göteborgs-Posten på nätet.

An anonymous reader writes Nielsen is going to start studying the streaming behavior of online viewers for the first time. Netflix has never released detailed viewership data, but Nielsen says they have developed a way for its rating meters to track shows by identifying their audio. From the article: "Soon Nielsen, the standard-bearer for TV ratings, may change that. The TV ratings company revealed to the Wall Street Journal that it's planning to begin tracking viewership of online video services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video in December by analyzing the audio of shows that are being streamed. The new ratings will come with a lot of caveats—they won't track mobile devices and won't take into account Netflix's large global reach—but they will provide a sense for the first time which Netflix shows are the most popular. And if the rest of the media world latches onto these new ratings as a standard, Netflix won't be able to ignore them."

Datorer och läsplattor delas ut till allt fler elever på landets högstadie- och gymnasieskolor. Men tre av tio lärare i en ny undersökning säger att det inte finns digitala läromedel i deras ämne på skolan, och bara fyra av tio är nöjda med de läromedel som faktiskt finns, skriver Svenska Dagbladet.

CMI in this context is the Critical Materials Institute at the Iowa State Ames Laboratory in Ames, Iowa. They have partners from other national laboratories, universities, and industry, too. Rare earths, while not necessarily as rare as the word "rare" implies, are hard to mine, separate, and use. They are often found in parts per million quantities, so it takes supercomputers to suss out which deposits are worth going after. This is what Dr. Ames and his coworkers spend their time doing; finding concentrations of rare earths that can be mined and refined profitably. On November 3 we asked you for questions to put to Dr. King. Timothy incorporated some of those questions into the conversation in this video -- and tomorrow's video too, since we broke this into two parts because, while the subject matter may be fascinating, we are supposed to hold video lengths down to around 10 minutes, and in this case we still ended up with two videos close to 15 minutes each. And this stuff is important enough that instead of lining up a list of links, we are giving you one link to Google using the search term "rare earths." Yes, we know Rare Earth would be a great name for a rock band. But the mineral rare earths are important in the manufacture of items from strong magnets to touch screens and rechargeable batteries.
