- NEW! "Meeting of the Minds" report, by Global Kids,
CommonSense Media, and the GoodPlay Project, finds that
young people need guidance from adults in navigating ethical
issues of online behavior.

From the MacArthur Foundation site announcement (12.3.09):
"The report, “Meeting of the Minds,” (PDF) is the result of a series
of cross-generational online dialogues about digital ethics
involving more than 250 adults and teens around the world.
Participants discussed how to behave in a digital world, from
illegal downloading and the creativity associated with remixing,
to the factors that go into deciding whether to meet an online
connection face-to-face".

New Book: Good Mentoring: Fostering Excellent Practice in Higher
Education

Good Mentoring offers an in-depth analysis of the way mentors
transmit not only knowledge and skills but the guiding values
thatsupport good work and social responsibility. The book clearly
shows how these values are passed along to those they guide.
Profiling three lineages of scientists passing their professional
skills, values, and practices down through generations, the book
reveals what constitutes successful mentoring in science and
beyond. Stemming from a first-of-its-kind study by the GoodWork
Project, the book shows how the cultivation of professional ethics
and excellence depends on teachers and mentors and the
learning environments they foster.
