Discusses how the teenagers of Generation X have now grown into responsible tax‐paying home‐owners, in contrast to their "whatever" attitude to life when they were adolescents. Investigates the sort of parents they have become, calling these erstwhile "slackers" Generation XO (hugs and kisses) parents. Conducts research into mothers' grocery shopping trips in three USA locations, drawing on a panel of Gatekeeper mothers. Finds that Generation XO parents are increasingly aware of, and active about, issues of child nutrition and health, and that they are conservative, ethically and spiritually aware, and family‐driven.

Quando adentramos num Programa de Pós-graduação nos conectamos por meio da investigação, e aprendemos a ver com outros olhos o cotidiano escolar. Um simples desenho nas paredes das escolas nos convida a um viés interpretativo a partir das teorias estudadas. Assim, frases, palavras e desenhos ligados às questões de gênero e sexualidade, presentes nas escolas, precisam ser problematizados, a fim de compreender os fenômenos envolvidos. A construção desse artigo tem como objeto grafismos com teor sexual, encontrados em uma escola estadual. O objetivo é analisar esses grafismos compreendendo sua relação com aspectos da cultura escolar, a partir dos estudos feministas. A análise das imagens e dos textos teve um caráter interpretativo e crítico, relacionando-os com os referenciais teóricos, concluindo, assim, que o gênero e a sexualidade afloram nas paredes escolares, como forma de expressão do vivido.

One-to-one computing has lately become one of the buzzwords in the educational technology initiatives in developing countries. Various versions of one-to-one computing have recently been implemented around the developing world. Governments and educational organizations have often felt a pressure to acquire new technology as an effort to leapfrog development, but this has in most cases been done without any deeper analysis of the complete framework that successful one-to-one computing initiatives require. A number of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) projects have subscribed to the view that one-to-one computing should not delve into non-technical areas like teacher training, curriculum development, or content development. We, however, consider the non-technical issues to be of great importance for the success of computer-enhanced learning in primary schools. This paper presents and analyzes nine crucial and often neglected considerations for successfully implementing one-to-one computing initiatives: a pedagogical framework, teacher training, a support model, content in local languages, adaptation to local conditions, parental agreement and support, monitoring and evaluation, administrative support, and sustainability. We disagree with the view that one-to-one computing is only about leveraging the children themselves. By properly considering our nine propositions, one–to–one computing initiatives can increase their positive impacts in primary schools in developing regions.
