IBM - Education industry - 1 views

  •  
    In this video, IBM outlines what a smarter school, district, and city would look like. However, I feel that the video fail to say exactly what IBM is doing to hep schools, districts, and cities to become "smarter."As a side note, I find it interesting that IBM uses individuals with different accents - and wonder if this is a marketing tool.

EDUCAUSE 2014: What IBM's Watson Could Bring to Higher Education - 3 views

  •  
    I am currently working on how to integrate IBM Watson in digital media for learning. I would gladly appreciate to talk anybody in the group who has a similar interest. Nice quote "I think the real impact on learning will start to come in the classroom, if you can imagine intelligent tutors - a system that can truly be interactive with the learner as they're engaging and learning the materials,"

Tom Vander Ark: 2011 Was an Inflection Point for Digital Learning - 4 views

  •  
    This article reminds of what Professor Dede said in the class, that we are at the inflection point in the history of of educational technologies. The author confirms that with eleven marked changes.
  •  
    This is a very exciting time but I noticed that the author cited evidence that I believe will only contribute to the achievement gap. He cites that poverty is increasing and every new educational effort requires money or families with time to spend with their children. The adults who focus on children in poverty are the teachers. Where are they in the list?
  •  
    I agree overall about 2011 being an inflection point, but I also remember that IBM 360 and TV were supposed to revolutionalize education too.

  • The Open Cloud Manifesto stresses the following:
  • --Cloud vendors should work together to define open solutions to address cloud challenges like security, integration and interoperability. --Cloud providers should not use their market position to create vendor lock-in. --Cloud vendors should embrace existing standards where they apply, and work together to create new standards where required. --Cloud community efforts should always be customer-driven. --Cloud standards groups need to stay coordinated to ensure there are not competing open standards in this emerging area.
