    After four tiring-exciting-stressful-fun days, we'd like to introduce you to our new little buddy, HelloApp. The idea is simple: When you arrive at a conference, you just say where you're sitting, via Twitter. Once you do that, you can … 1. Search for people with a certain skill-set (ie PHP, jQuery, CSS3, marketing, etc) and see where they're sitting 2. View the seating diagram colored based on Twitter follower count 3. Search for a specific person in the audience and find out where they're sitting 4. View the seating diagram colored based on whether people are Designers, Developers or Businessmen 5. Earn badges and points by meeting people and completing tasks. If you earn a high enough rank, you'll be able to post public messages to the entire audience and win prizes.

    Should connectivism be included in that matrix?

  • At the heart of scientific thinking has to be a strong desire not to fool yourself, coupled by an understanding of how to actually put that desire into practice.
  • this emerging scientific culture that bizarrely believes that if you can produce a model that fits the data that inspired you to build the model, you've actually shown that your model accurately captures the system. This culture floods the scientific literature with zero-impact papers, dazzles the computationally naïve, captures a lot of air time in the news.
  • The computer models can be dazzling, but unless they produce a demonstrated string of successes that end up changing the way everyone in the field thinks - the molecular biologists, the sociologists, the economists, then the sciences of complexity will be dismissed as unfruitful. In the end, your model has to inspire a someone to pick up a pipette and design an experiment.

  • boundaries are inserted where the brain experiences what Zacks calls “prediction error” — when things break a pattern of repetition and thus signal to the brain a boundary that is used to construct the temporal model for the event — its typical sequence. 
  • the response of the audience — comprised mainly of educational experts — and of Zacks himself is that one practical lesson from his research is that creators of narrative content, such as film, should make an effort to provide more obvious segmentation in their products.  Clearly, if this is how the brain works, we should work this way too. I think this is a major fallacy that pervades the reception of brain science research.  People tend to assume that if the brain works a certain way, then so should we.
  • the lesson is to get good at perceiving and creating event boundaries, which requires not pre-segmented media, but the opposite — hard to grasp art, stuff that violates expectations and rewards the perciever with a different perspective.   In fact, giving students media with well defined boundaries may cause their capacity to construct boundaries to atrophy, much as caffeine causes our adrenal glands to shrink. (I know, it’s a good reason to stop drinking coffee.)

  • So, what is the pedagogical and media design lesson here?  Learning Teaching is not about making content easy to ingest, it’s about creating environments where students can play this game of meaning formation, which isn’t always stress-free.  Marketers may disagree, but they are in the business of indoctrination, not teaching.
