Why 21st century education is not just about technology | EdSource Today - 0 views

3D display screen on mobile devices could be on the horizon - 0 views

  •  
    "The ability to tilt along multiple axes distinguishes our display from previous actuatable displays. Such screen versatility opens a range of opportunities for providing an additional integrated information channel to the user. "These opportunities include collaboration, terrain modeling, 3D video that is beyond auto-stereoscopic 3D and tangible gaming. We can imagine many scenarios that would benefit from the physicality offered by Tilt Displays. However, we need to establish whether users can relate to the new experiences and advantages of using such a device."

British Schoolchildren Traumatized by Fake Alien Invasion - Fake invasions - io9 - 0 views

  •  
    The presentation on the ARG alien abduction in class today reminded me of this awesome news story a couple months back. Sans fancy technology, a school staged an alien abduction for its students. Unfortunately, they got some flak for the War of the Worlds effect it had on the younger kids. But this school seems really awesome and I hope no one got disciplined for providing an innovation learning experience.

      Okay... so desktop computers are not for AR tech. People are mobile, so AR should be mobile. But what about people stuck sitting at a desk all day?

If you are part of the large network, there is all sorts of things people might plant that you don't want to see or know about... Another thought, if there is a closed-group option, perhaps this will create a whole new way of drug trafficking and helping illegal organizations hide information from authorities.

A Virtual Revolution Is Brewing for Colleges - washingtonpost.com - 0 views

  • When this happens -- be it in 10 years or 20 -- we will see a structural disintegration in the academy akin to that in newspapers now. The typical 2030 faculty will likely be a collection of adjuncts alone in their apartments, using recycled syllabuses and administering multiple-choice tests from afar.

      I think this vision is at its core flawed.
  • But within the next 40 years, the majority of brick-and-mortar universities will probably find partnerships with other kinds of services, or close their doors.
    • Jennifer Hern
       
      I seriously doubt colleges and universities are going to fall by the wayside into cyberspace. The article is focusing on the cost of education at these institutions instead of the quality of education. Yes, more students will have access to higher ed. degrees because they are more affordable, but setting out on your own at eighteen years of age, whether it be going to college or entering the workforce, is a long-held tradition in society. Students at universities aren't just learning about academics, they're learning about social dynamics as well. Based on my personal experience, I probably learned more about why and how people, groups, teams, and large organizations operate and interact (especially in informal settings) than I did about Milton's 15th century Morte D'Arthur. If the author is proposing that MOST high school graduates stay home for an additional two to four years before entering the real world, I think it would create a whole new set of rammifications that would negatively impact our society as a whole.

    This article talks about online-learning and the ways it may change the college experience. While I agree that new technology is affecting the way our courses are run, I don't see it leading to the complete shut down of Universities. While it is wonderful that people have access to courses and resources that they may not otherwise have, I believe that there will always be a need for face-to-face interactions that one can only get from a University setting.

Harrisburg University Plans Week-Long Social Media Blackout - 0 views

      Interesting social experiment
  • He decided to conduct an experiment using a convenient sample: Harrisburg's student body
    • Devon Dickau
       
      What do you think about using a college student body for this type of experimentation? Do the students feel violated?

    What are the implications of being "off the grid" in terms of the Internet while in college? How dependent are we on this technology?

    I saw some (bad) reality tv program about a family who did this and the wonders it resulted in for this family's quality of life ...

Formal vs informal education - 0 views

  •  
    I came across this article that talks about informal education vs. formal education based up on the experience of two siblings. It seems to me that over the past few years, the amount of learning materials has increased exponentially, and the my supplemental-informal education parallels my classroom / formal education. Perhaps it is time to begin to start training students to deal with infinite information, and to make it manageable so that they can begin to supplement their educations in novel ways, on their own terms.
