    *One of the reasons that Free is often so hard to grasp is that it is not a thing.... 34 *the social bonds ... tend to fray when the size of a group exceeds 150 (termed the Dunbar Number) 40 *our feelings about "free" are relative.... 56 *In the end it always seemed to be about a story--people like to see the beginning, middle, end, and plot of something.... 69 *in a digital marketplace, Free is almost always a choice. 72 *This "triple play" of faster, better, cheaper technologies--processing, storage, and bandwidth--all come together online, which is why today you can have free services like YouTube.... 78 *The point: Ideas are the ultimate abundance commodity, which propagate at zero maginal cost. Once created, ideas want to spread far and wide, enriching everything they touch. 83 *If the unitary cost of technology...is halving every eighteen months, when does it come close enough to zero to...round down to nothing? 89 *All information should be free. 96 *On the one hand information wants to be expensive...On the other hand, information wants to be free.... 96 *This is Googleplex, the headquarters of the biggest company in history built on giving things away. 119 *each data factory Google builds can do twice as much for the same price as the one it built about a year and a half earlier. As a result, every eighteen months the cost to Google of providing you with your Gmail inbox falls by about half. 121-22 CEO Eric Schmidt - Google's "max strategy" 'Take whatever it is you are doing and do it to the max in terms of distribution...since marginal cost of distribution is free, you might as well put things everywhere.' 123 *... one generation's scarcity is another's abundance. 191

Marzano's IWB Sweet Spot - EdTechTeacher - 0 views

  •  
    The "Sweet Spot" he says, the perfect storm of student achievement according to his findings, was when the technology was used by an experienced teacher, having had it for 2 years, using it 75% of the time in class, who has had training. That teacher shows a whopping 29% gain in scores.

metacool: Designing at the Boulder Digital Works - 0 views

    As John Maeda recently noted, the missing partner to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) is IDEA (Intuition, Design, Emotion, Art). As a person who was trained on both sides and now works and plays across STEM and IDEA, I feel strongly that our education programs need to combine both in order to create the T-shaped people that can go out and make a difference in the world (Principle 6).

» Would You Please Block? Bud the Teacher - 2 views

  • What we’ve decided is that we will no longer use the web filter as a classroom management tool.  Blocking one distraction doesn’t solve the problem of students off task – it just encourages them to find another site to distract them.  Students off task is not a technology problem – it’s a behavior problem. 
    • Dave Truss
       
      A brilliantly worded statement that needs to be said!
  • This opens up possibilities for students and staff using websites for instructional purposes that in the past were blocked due to broad category blocks.  It requires that staff and students manage their technology use rather than relying on a third party solution that can never do the job of replacing teachers monitoring students.
