SpringerLink - International Journal of Technology and Design Education, Volume 12, Num... - 1 views

  • In todays, computer-centered society, designing interactive media has emerged as a new profession. Interactive design is often associated with spread of computers as a communication and interaction tool. However, interactive design has been a staple of artists and designers for many centuries. We present a historical perspective upon interactive design and point out the close relationship of this field with different fields of art and design. We argue that interactive media design is a distinct and evolving field and that it is imperative to teach it as such. In this paper, we have adopted this perspective and detailed a new four-year under-graduate curriculum on interactive media design education. This curriculum stresses the various components of interactive media design and its close relationship with computer science. art and design - currculum design - interactive mediaThis revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

  • Why should schools encourage all this sharing and meeting? Schools should reflect the world we live in today. And we live in a social world.

Redesigning Education: Why Can't We Be in Kindergarten for Life? | Fast Company - 2 views

  • While listening to the teachers' presentation at my twins' school, I had a moment of clarity: The kindergarten classroom is the design studio.
  • The kindergarten classroom is the design studio. All of the learning activities that take place inside the kindergarten classroom are freakishly similar to the everyday environment of my design studio in the "real world."
  • Like the design studio, the kindergarten environment places human interaction above all else.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • In a kindergarten classroom, while there are walls with white boards or smart boards, the "front" of the room is indistinguishable. Every available wall and surface is an opportunity to display student work. The design allows students to explore many different ways of learning in the classroom--it's learner-centered space.
  • The learner-centered paradigm should extend beyond the kindergarten classroom.
  • Unfortunately, most educational institutions follow a model that creates an impersonal environment where adults, teaching, and authority are at the center.
  • For example, at the Henry Ford Academy: School for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, self-contained classrooms are replaced with clustered learning spaces.
  • Many schools and work environments are embracing the reality that we live in multidisciplinary global world. The challenges and opportunities that we face in the 21st century require creativity, innovation and a deeper understanding of the complexities of the global economy, politics and culture.
