The paper examines the effects of Internet access at school and/or at home on students' academic performance in urban areas utilizing a Brazilian unique dataset collected by the governmental agency “Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira” (National Institute of Educational Research Anísio Teixeira) or INEP for years 2007 and 2009. Using the propensity scores matching methodology the paper assesses the impact of internet on standardized Portuguese and mathematics tests that students in all public schools take in the 8th grade while controlling for an extensive list of variables which includes various household assets, parental education and involvement with student activities, the school physical infrastructure, safety, electronic equipments and library as well as teachers' academic history, experience and pedagogical strategies. Following Lechner (2001) the multiple treatment case is examined constituting of four alternatives: students with no Internet access at home or at school, students with Internet access at home but not at school, students with Internet access at school but not at home, and students with Internet access at home and at school. The results suggest that Internet access at home considerably improves test scores of 8th graders. The results hold for both Portuguese and mathematics tests and for both years 2007 and 2009. On the other hand, the Internet access at school either does not improve the academic performance of students (as it is the case for Portuguese test scores) or the effect is of much smaller magnitude (as it is the case for mathematics test scores) in 2007. In 2009 the impact of Internet access only at school is positive and significant though still of smaller magnitude. This improvement is most likely related to the “Broadband in Schools” program initiated in 2008 with the goal of bringing computer and broadband access to all public urban elementary and middle schools by the end of 2010. It is expected that this program has also promoted the awareness of the importance of internet use for students' education and, thus, motivated its use in pedagogical activities. Overall, the findings offer interesting implications from policy perspective. In the past decade policymakers in Brazil as well as in many other countries have allocated substantial funds to increase Internet access at schools. The results in this paper along with previous research suggest that the efforts to increase Internet access at schools can result in much higher magnitude of improvement of students' academic performance if they are combined with policy initiatives to increase home Internet access and incorporate Internet based educational tools at school.

In the spirit of Alvin Toffler’s acclaimed works peering into the future of the technological society, Communication Shock is a concise history of communication technologies and an exploration of the possible social and human impacts of nanotechnology on the ecology of human communication. As we become increasingly more networked with communication technologies, we must come to understand and confront the social impact of these changes. More importantly, we must wisely choose in embracing or rejecting these technologies and exploring how we might do both by striking an appropriate balance. Grounded in communication theory and praxis, Communication Shock brings some objectivity to the discussion of technology, maps its development, and encourages a rational conversation about its potential problems and promise. It challenges readers to reach their own conclusions – about the future, imagined and unimaginable, about the fundamental values in conflict, and how one might choose to embrace or contest them to maintain individual autonomy in the face of increasingly ubiquitous marketing and technological change. Present and emerging communications technologies hold the promise for a bold new future, but they also have their inherent risks and drawbacks. Communication shock is the human response, conscious or unconscious, wherein the individual chooses to resist the growing pervasiveness of technology in his or her life by seeking ways to reduce or redirect new technologies or to reject the addition of such technologies altogether. Here is a framework for understanding the potential of the evolving technologies, determining which are essential and which are distractions from the life that one believes to be meaningful, and making informed choices for the life one wishes to live.

Economics can be a lens for understanding the behavior of schools, districts, states, and nations in meeting education needs of their populaces, as well as for understanding the individual decisions made by administrators, teachers, and students. Insights from economics help decision makers at the state level understand how to raise and distribute funds for public schools in an equitable manner for both schools and taxpayers. Economics also can assist researchers in analyzing effects of school spending and teacher compensation on student outcomes. And economics can provide important insights into public debates on issues such as whether to offer vouchers for subsidizing student attendance at private schools. This two-volume encyclopedia contains over 300 entries by experts in the field that cover these issues and more. Features: This work of 2 volumes (in both print and electronic formats) contains 300-350 signed entries by significant figures in the field. Entries conclude with cross-references and suggestions for further readings to guide students to in-depth resources. Although organized in A-to-Z fashion, a thematic “Reader’s Guide” in the front matter groups related entries by topic. Also in the front matter, a chronology provides students with historical perspective on the development of education economics and finance as a field of study The entire work concludes with a Resources appendix and a comprehensive Index. In the electronic version, the index, Reader's Guide, and cross references combine to provide effective search-and-browse capabilities.
