I went to this great open house yesterday on campus, "Robot Block Party." Everything from the Nasa robotics team to amateur tinkerers frankensteining robots in their backyards. A couple people from the Exhibits team at the Cal Academy showed a kinect-powered robot they had been tinkering with as a side project, where - their idea - would be to put the robot (with a camera) on the roof, and you'd be able to "drive" it using the kinect inside the museum. And of course, there was the self-driving race car, complete with the ubiquitous Stanford parking sticker.
Waiometra one of the leading biosafety cabinet manufacturer in India, our class II type biological safety cabinet is a partially enclosed work-space that has built in fortification for the worker, the environment, and the material inside of it.
interesting-- will have to check this out.. (I did quick peek-- might be a pseudo dating platform?!)
BUT could be an interesting analog for self-organizing meetings inside museums
Tinkering and experimenting; engaging in the arts; going out into the community; tapping into students’ talents, interests and passions are not part learning process.
it does not honor learning-by-doing
I think that the flipped classroom is an interesting idea if you want to do learning that is largely based on presentation.
I am interested more in moving beyond the flipped classroom to learning by doing at the center than a kind of the intermediate step that still centers on largely on tacit assimilation
Thomas Edison’s thoughts about how film would change education.
It is possible to teach every branch of human knowledge with the motion picture. Our school system will be completely changed inside of ten years. (http://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/02/15/books-obsolete/)
TED is about ideas worth sharing. I am curious if the kids, after being directed through the Ted-Ed lessons, will develop and spread their own ideas with their peers.
no doubt there has been good measure of skepticism and backlash;
idea of walking around 'distracted' - or possibility of always recording-- lends to some dystopian images of the future...
I'd say the TV was a similar technology that led to distraction/couch potato culture. (But we've moved on) This is more mobile - and in the world. I think it's exciting -- and needs some healthy skepticism.
For CAMLF--
I look at these glasses- in more specific applications--where context is more controlled.
Imagine the 'layering' of experiences. Providing visual learning element to the objects inside our walls
Museum environments seem perfect--- even more so than (what I think is a poor vision) walking around public streets.
In private situations for Google Goggles seems more ideal..
Maybe?
