A Personal Computer for Children of All Ages; Alan Kay - 1972 (PDF) - 0 views

  •  
    A fascinating and visionary article written in the '70s about the DynaBook, a computer envisioned as a special educational tool to not just teach children facts, but to also make them more curious and more intentional in exploring their world and the knowledge available.  Some pundits today say that the iPad is, at long last, the realization of Kay's visionary DynaBook - more than thirty years later. Pretty heady and visionary, this article, even today. Do read it if you have the time.

Amazon Builds World's Fastest Nonexistent Supercomputer | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com - 0 views

    I've been thinking. If the highest level of e-learning is augmentation of existing teaching and learning capabilities, then why not investigate cloud supercomputers - the logical extrapolation of today's cloud computing. Imagine the learning possibilities if students could easily run simulations using real-world data to investigate real-world phenomena or even social ones, to see what would happen if you tweaked certain environmental / historical conditions. Then teachers could use the various simulated outcomes as a starting point for discussion purposes - e.g. if everyone on earth had a car, what would happen to the earth's temperatures in the next few years? and then ask further questions from there using fundamental principles. Less time spent on tedious models, and more time spent observing systems interactions, may help make the next generation of It sounds like a very high-level concept, but I think a practical example is when I used the speech-to-text convertor feature of an English dictionary app on my iPhone to help a boy learn how to pronounce words correctly. It turned a boring dictionary into a fun interactive game for him, and he learnt a few new words along the way. Just some food for thought this holiday season. Merry Christmas!

    very cooooooool way of marketing. It really wow most audience.

    super super like!!! i know of a local 3D studio that does AR. One of their successful app is Terracotta Warriors that was exhibited at Asian Civillisation Museum. Can check out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxZyg7Tr0xk :)

    Oh, i saw that in the news. We might be able to do something like that using the aurasma app. but the problem is that we don't have the content.
  •  
    Since our trainee teachers need to teach in classroom, create different scenario of classroom like noisy class, playful class, unattentive class, etc, and instructor can use these content to teach trainee teacher about classroom management.

    thanks for the idea KC! But not sure this conversion will spam the rest of those who commented. Let's discuss in details offline. :)

Apple Study Trip: Day 2 ~ ICT For Educators - 5 views

  •  When students were given their own iPad, they were given full autonomy of their device and had to set it up from scratch. They set up all of their own accounts and installed their own apps, from a combination of required apps to those which they chose themselves. Each student was given a $40 iTunes gift card to use for their purchases. Experience showed that true success relied on moving away from the school being the "boss" of the machine to one where it was student driven and student managed. 
  • It was found that the Ipads are very different from laptops in that students can really relate to them and, when used, they do not become the focus of the learning. Instead they become one device which can be used with all learning tools that students have access to. The iPad became the "red pen" where much of the work got done in other ways and the iPad was used when needed. Laptop computers control thinking and control the desk. When used, they become the focus of the learning. iPads are a technology which has really changed the way students work with computers in the classroom. The real challenge for staff is to embrace this and to understand that you can't expect to have iPads in the classroom and teach the same way that you did when you didn't have them. It changes the way students work and they way teachers teach.

    Like your comment about how the iPads don't become the focus of the learning. That's a thought that's been on my mind recently - the importance of the perception of "seamlessness" in tech usage. That's probably one of the most important reasons a technology gets adapted - no matter how cumbersome it seems at first (e.g. learning how to drive a car) - because the normal usage of the technology doesn't hinder the intended task at hand. (That's why once you learn to ride a bike, you don't think so much about the bicycle itself as you think about moving faster.) Think Donald Norman in "The Design of Everyday Things" has a term for this: affordability. So I guess, my thought on the usage of the iPad (and any new tech at hand): The learning of the new tech need not be intuitive. But the everyday usage has to seamlessly flow with the given task at hand - so that the tool and the user become "one" with the task. (Just like how a user fumbles with a pair of chopsticks at first, but once he masters it, his chopsticks "become" part of his fingers.) Then such seamless technologies get seamlessly adopted as "cognitive-multipliers".
