Investing in Nonprofits
The Sound of Ideas
Posted May 16, 2012
Non-profit organizations that rely on a good story and well-meaning efforts are bound to fail as funding becomes more scarce. So says Mario Morino, an influential philanthropist and author whose book, "Leap of Reason" seeks to change the culture of philanthropy and the non-profit organizations it supports. Non-profits should hone their long-term focus, collaborate, collect data and prove that their efforts bring results. Join host Mike McIntyre Wednesday at 9 on the Sound of Ideas.

Cheating in Schools
The Sound of Ideas
Posted May 17, 2012
Technology can enhance learning in schools, but can it enhance cheating, too? What are schools doing to make sure students are turning in their own work? And in a time when test scores are used to measure the effectiveness of educators, is the temptation too great for schools to fudge the rules? We'd love to hear your thoughts on the state of cheating in schools. Remember, no copying off of others. Tuesday at 9 on the Sound of Ideas. Program originally aired Nov. 22, 2011.
