ELSEWHERE: iPads Are Proving Beneficial for Special Education Students

Last updated on: October 17, 2013 at 8:38 am By Jason Morehead

It’s easy to dismiss iPads as luxury gadgets for checking Facebook, watching Netflix, and playing Candy Crush. But as one Los Angeles educator has discovered, iPads are a huge help when teaching special education students with mental and physical disabilities. As a geek, I love this story because it’s a perfect example of technology making a positive impact in the lives of previously disadvantaged individuals. Read more

ELSEWHERE: Neil Gaiman On the Power of Books and Libraries

Last updated on: October 16, 2013 at 9:26 am By Geoffrey Reiter

One of my favorite living fantasy writers is Neil Gaiman, creator of Sandman, Coraline, Neverwhere, American Gods, and countless others. His work crosses all types of media. In a recent speech now posted on The Guardian, he discusses the power of books, and also of the libraries that house them. Read more

ELSEWHERE: Rethinking Cotton Mather

Last updated on: October 15, 2013 at 7:35 am By Geoffrey Reiter

Even Jonathan “Sinner in the Hands of an Angry God” Edwards gets more love than Cotton Mather, the third-generation American Puritan pastor and theologian often blamed for the Salem Witch Trials. Earlier this year, Christ and Pop Culture brought out some thoughtful words from his father, Increase. Now, 350 after Cotton Mather was born, Agnes Howard at Patheos Evangelical’s Anxious Bench brings us a healthy reminder of his complexity (and his wig). Read more

ELSEWHERE: Diversity’s Role in Helping Minorities Flourish

Last updated on: October 15, 2013 at 7:34 am By Jeff Cavanaugh

In a recent post at the Reformed African American Network, Anthony Bradley addresses what he calls “a pervasive misunderstanding” of diversity: its presence doesn’t automatically help blacks flourish, and its lack doesn’t automatically harm minorities. Discrimination and inequality are the problem, not necessarily segregation. “Race,” he writes, “is not nearly as helpful of a category as progressives want us to believe in our efforts to evaluate what constitutes flourishing.” Read more

Musicians from Warring Nations Gives Us a Picture of Peace

Last updated on: October 15, 2013 at 1:30 pm By Erin Straza

A musician I am not, but if you break out the cello, I can scarcely breathe for the beauty of it. Obviously, cellist Yo-Yo Ma is a favorite. So this NPR article—“A Yo-Yo Ma Project Brings Together Musicians from Warring Nations”—caught my eye. Its author, Elizabeth Segran, details Ma’s vision for music as the basis for intercultural understanding through his Silk Road Ensemble organization: “Bringing together the Galician bagpipe, the Chinese pipa, the Japanese shakuhachi, the Persian kamancheh, the Indian...
