Infographic on What Teachers Think about Technology - 1 views

  •  
    1) I love love love infographics. 2) Surprising data here. Is it that teachers overestimate themselves, or we underestimate teachers?

    3) Oops, posted before I read the fine print: "WeAreTeachers conducted an online survey...The data reported is representative of teachers who completed the survey and not projectable to the population of US school teachers." Bad on me; irresponsible of them.

    That takes care of the display challenge, now if we could only develop a more sophisticated and biologically intuitive method of data entry (no keys or multi-touch surface), the world will be a very different place. Def. an emerging technology with wild educational/training implications.

News: Tweeting in Class - Inside Higher Ed - 0 views

  • Suddenly, I’m not just the one at the front just dispensing everything, and the students aren’t just sort of milling about doing their thing — we’ve actually got a team of people working together. And Twitter is the glue that holds the team together.”
  • It’s also a data-gathering resource. Live discussion threads, Campbell noted, give professors loads of data on the previously mysterious question of what exactly is going on inside the heads of students during a lecture. No longer is a student’s ability to participate in classroom discussions contingent upon whether he is willing to raise his hand and has the good fortune to be called on, he said.

A researcher whose work ties into our class discussion - 0 views

  •  
    Yesterday afternoon, some of us were at a talk by Prof. Alex Pentland I found several of the topics tie back to our class discussion. In particular, his thoughts that only the individual should have ownership over personal data and others may seek permission to access it was, I felt appropriate. Of course for young students it appears more complicated. I am considering reading his papers ( at least the non technical parts :) His ideas can impact learning in the class room too ! Please share your thoughts !

New tablet makes most of 4G service - The Boston Globe - 1 views

  •  
    Here is a brand new competitor for iPad, the Jetstream from HTC. This tablet takes advantage of AT&T's 4G data network, but its price tag is a steep $849. However, AS WITH ALL DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES< THE MORE COMPETITORS THERE ARE, THE MORE THE PRICE IS DRIVEN DOWN. So, perhaps this is good news for the future of tablets in schools...

Kids Tagged With RFID Chips? The Creepy New Technology Schools Use to Track Everything ... - 2 views

  •  
    In general, these systems consist of a school photo ID card affixed to a lanyard that is worn around the student's neck. The ID has a RFID chip embedded in it. The tag includes a digit number assigned to each student. As a student enters the school or pass beneath a doorway equipped with an RFID reader, the tag ID is read, recorded and sent to a server in the school's administrative office. The captured data not only provides an attendance list (sent to the teacher's PDA), but tracks the student's movement throughout the day.
  •  
    I like that it makes attendance easier to monitor but still seems kinda creepy...and there's always a way around those systems....
