    I started the theory related reading today and really enjoyed Professor Daniel's 'Technology is the Answer: What was the Question?' I made a blog post about it which I invite you to visit:  http://krustelkrammoocs.blogspot.de/2013/01/technology-is-answer-what-was-question.html You will find Sugata Mitra's TED Talk: 'The child-driven education' about 'The Hole in the Wall' project mentioned by Professor Daniel and a great article about a more recent project by One Laptop per Child ('Given Tablets but No Teachers, Ethiopian Children Teach Themselves').  #edcmooc   #TED   #videos   #autodidactism #blogpost  #SugataMitra #onelaptopperchild

#edcmooc TED critique

shared by Rick Bartlett on 31 Dec 13 - No Cached
  • This is taking something with value and substance and coring it out so that it can be swallowed without chewing. This is not the solution to our most frightening problems – rather this is one of our most frightening problems.
  • I'm sorry but this fails to meet the challenges that we are supposedly here to confront. These are complicated and difficult and are not given to tidy just-so solutions. They don't care about anyone's experience of optimism.
  • but TED's version has too much faith in technology, and not nearly enough commitment to technology. It is placebo technoradicalism, toying with risk so as to reaffirm the comfortable.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The potential for these technologies are both wonderful and horrifying at the same time, and to make them serve good futures, design as "innovation" just isn't a strong enough idea by itself. We need to talk more about design as "immunisation," actively preventing certain potential "innovations" that we do not want from happening.
  • f we really want transformation, we have to slog through the hard stuff (history, economics, philosophy, art, ambiguities, contradictions). Bracketing it off to the side to focus just on technology, or just on innovation, actually prevents transformation.
  • At a societal level, the bottom line is if we invest in things that make us feel good but which don't work, and don't invest in things that don't make us feel good but which may solve problems, then our fate is that it will just get harder to feel good about not solving problems.

    Can these devices that alienate those around us, actually make us more human? Case Amber argues that our phones are wormholes in our pocket, connecting us in a practical and efficient way with loved ones?

    Includes good TED Talk video (7 mins) outlining cyborg anthropology - how humans are interacting with new digital tools to extend/connect minds and selves.

    Jane argues, "If we want to solve global problems we need to aspire to play more games online. Games are essential to the survival of the human species"
