  • Google Glass is a pre-production device made for developers. It has bugs, and it has problems, some of which are related to security.
  • Thus for the first time, this has provided malicious folks with the opportunity to gain access to your device through these machine-readable blobs of black and white blocks.
  • They could connect it to a Bluetooth device of their choosing and stream images from its camera to a remote display, all without the wearer’s knowledge.

    please watch the video conversation, but here are my brief takeaways: - There is a shift form institutional structures (corporations, centralized governments, educational establishments) to social structuring - Social Structuring - creating value by aggregating micro contributors by large networks using social tools and technology Key patterns in future of learning are 1. Content comments 2. New Foundations 3. Global Learning arbitrage 4. Embedded and embodied learning 5. Human-software symbiosis 6. Socialstructured work Major shifts in learning: - from episodic to continuous learning - from content conveyors to content curators - from working at one scale to working at up&down the scale - from degrees to reputation metrics - from grades to continuous feedback

  • research shows that even very young children understand the distinction. Kids as young as four or five years old understand that it’s against the rules to turn aggressive play into real aggression.

  • even in the absence of information about the character’s past.
  • The age of 8 has been identified as a watershed at which children become measurably more likely to act out aggressions after watching violent behavior on television
  • . The children recognize that in the real world it’s impossible to fly without a plane or to be born with skin that deflects bullets. 
  • By age 10 or 11, children will make fairly complex judgments about characters’ motivations and they regularly distinguish between justified and unjustified violence
  • One study also found that if you ask children between the ages of eight and ten who they most want to be like, they are far more likely to cite superhero type characters than everyday folks like their parents.
  • but conflict play continues to provide a unique transitional space for children to explore and express their own tensions
  • We also aim to develop conflict play scenarios where children can experience the benefits of cooperation. With the fate of the world (or even the entire universe) hanging in the balance, children must learn how to build teams, trust in others and work together towards common goals. In those pretend situations, developing social skills may be the only way to overcome the lords of evil!

  • The University of Canterbury team, led by Christoph Bartneck of the university's Human Interface Technology Lab, wanted to explore one way Lego might be influencing children through play. Toys, and play time, are considered vital to the development of emotional understanding in children, and with an average of 75 Lego blocks per human on Earth it makes sense to see what kinds of emotions Lego is presenting to children
  • On average, heads displayed 3.9 different emotions, which means that for a lot of the faces their emotional state is reasonably complex and ambiguous.
  • We cannot help but wonder how the move from only positive faces to an increasing number of negative faces impacts how children play
  • ...2 more annotations...
