A Hand-Cranked Tablet Unveiled at CES - Technology Review - 0 views

  • More than 50 new tablet computers are expected to debut at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. But only one is meant for people in the poorest regions of the world, and comes with a hand crank as an accessory. Known as the XO 3.0, the rugged green and white device has an eight-inch screen and was designed by the nonprofit One Laptop Per Child, which in 2008 launched the XO laptop, a device for people who are normally far from the minds of most computing companies. At a press preview held before the official opening of CES on Tuesday, OLPC's chief technology officer, Edward McNierney, told Technology Review that the new device could be used by children as young as five. "We're trying to provide a low-power, low-cost environment for education," he said. "One of the things we're working on now is software experiments to see if children in completely illiterate communities, who don't go to school, can teach themselves to read."

    So, be it Zotero or photo editing or movie making, I am here to help the students. Could it be done by a kid from IT, probably. But could it be done as well and leave students feeling like they can do anything? Depends on the kid. However, coming from Libraryland and seeing the technology as another tool to bring students success makes me a stronger option.

How Learning Spaces Reflect Our View of Children | DMLcentral - 0 views

  •  
    Many school buildings are in a terrible state. Even in seemingly advanced western nations many old schools resemble architectural catastrophes that, along with post-war urban tower blocks and the shopping malls of the 1950s, have largely been left to the crumble of rust. In the last few years, though, there has been a renaissance in school building design based on a reimagining of learning spaces (pdf) that has mirrored the advance in our understandings of education-oriented information and communication technologies (ICT)

    In 2010, we used the flipped classroom model with 140 freshman students.  We have reduced the failure rate by 33% in English Language Arts, 31% in Mathematics, 22% in Science and 19% in Social Studies in just one semester.  In addition, we have seen a dramatic reduction of 66% in our total discipline for our freshman group as well.  This approach also allowed us to properly integrate current technologies, guarantee and streamline our curriculum, provide educational services when students and teachers are absent, share staff resources and much, much more... Today, we are flipping our entire high school.  We are committed to giving our students and staff the very best we have to offer and have embraced this opportunity to improve the delivery of our instructional practice.

    As you can see in the video, technology has brought a human element back into the classroom making it more interactive and tuned to specific kids' needs. Why limit this to students? Why not use this model to help improve health outcomes? In fact, we may not have a choice with the ever-increasing shortage of primary care physicians. One can look to what happened after Romneycare was implemented as a preview of what is to come. The shortage of primary care providers only increased. Simply trying to put family physicians on a faster hamster wheel isn't the solution.
