  • By providing results before a query is complete and removing the need to hit the "enter" key, Google claims users will save two to five seconds per search

      Two to five seconds to hit Enter?  In a society obsessed with saving time, even mere seconds are perceived as valuable.

      Are the speed and brevity of these messages bypassing the potential exploration of a certain topic area in-depth, or is very topic only superficial?

      Search engines do the work for us.  We don't even need to know how to find the information ourselves these days.
  • What's more, this feature enables truly personalized discovery by taking into account your search history, location and other factors -- Google is essentially emulating social networks by trying to predict what we're looking for without the need to submit a fully-formed search
  • The next step of search is doing this automatically. When I walk down the street, I want my smartphone to be doing searches constantly: 'Did you know ... ?' 'Did you know ... ?' 'Did you know ... ?' 'Did you know ... ?

      In thinking about evolving technology in terms of both formal and informal education, I question whether or not constant and immediate access to information is improving or harming individual knowledge.  By this I mean that because we can so easily search for something online, what motivation is there to actually know anything.  If we have Wikipedia on our phones, and know HOW to find it, can't we just spend 30 seconds finding the page and "know" something for topic of conversation, or a test?  What is the point, then, or learning, of retaining knowledge?  I feel that this may be a problem in coming generations.  What knowledge will our students actually feel they need to retain? I took solace in the fact that at least we have to learn and teach HOW to find the information, but with new technologies like predictive and instant searching, it almost seems like that is a skill that will soon become unneeded as well.  We might as well just be physically plugged in to the Internet with access to all information simultaneously. Thoughts from the group?

    When a brain scientist got a stroke, she got the opportunity to study her own experience. She found this remarkable ability of her mind to enter the conscious and sub-conscious realms, accessing information on different levels all the time. I wonder if artificial intelligence would ever have this ability, to think and feel on their own...

    "Legacy costs, ideas and infrastructure have set the table for creative disruption, with technology now offering alternative ways to acquire skills, knowledge, and accolades." This not only talks about transformation among teachers lives (and consequently those of the children thru what the empowered teachers provide) but makes you feel that the way in which teachers are evaluated are taking a whole new stage. More open, more emphasis on its impact and connected.

  • Cole Shaw on 09 Sep 12
     
    That was an interesting video, though I'm a little skeptical about all the "qualities" they promote about digital native students. It made me feel like students just want connectivity to the internet 24/7 ("when I can Google the best place to buy shoes, I will also be able to Google where to get the best education" really?)...which to me, doesn't speak much to how technology will help them learn or master content better? It's like some of the other articles people have posted that talk about how introducing technology into the classroom doesn't really help learning--giving kids access to the internet may not be enough. I do think technology has a great role to play, but I feel like the video really glosses over the topic and presents it in a "marketing" way...

    This is a good example of how a product is trying to make you feel more immersed by placing virtual objects in the real world instead of a completely virtual world.
  • Jennifer Bartecchi on 17 Sep 12
     
    This could possibly put the 'fun' back in 'functional' - if students are operating within the "real world" on sincere applications, they may generalize their skills better. I'm all for perceiving my world in 50% cartoon ;o)

    States are expanding their offerings of online courses, and in conjunction with this, they are beginning to create policy mandating that students take a set number of online courses in order to graduate from high school. I'm not sure how I feel about this. While I believe that online courses have a way to go and could one day be a solution for all kinds of learners, I believe that right now, online courses are not necessarily for all learners all the time. There are simply some learners who would benefit more from classroom instruction and the built in motivation that face-to-face provides.

    I spent some time poking around BrainPOP's GameUp page (BrainPOP creates educational flash videos and resources to be used in classrooms, in case you didn't know). Some are pretty cool examples of gamifying learning concepts, while others feel a little clunkier. I enjoyed poking around, so I thought I'd share.

  • In Asia, such a march of tests for young children was regarded as normal, and not evil or particularly anxiety provoking.
  • Professor Cizek, who started his career as a second-grade teacher, said the prevailing philosophy of offering young children unconditional praise and support was probably not the best prescription for successful education. “What’s best for kids is frequent testing, where even if they do badly, they can get help and improve and have the satisfaction of doing better,” he said. “Kids don’t get self-esteem by people just telling them they are wonderful.”

    A mother from New York who raised young children in China argues that the high-pressure testing that made them "feel bad" about themselves at the time was a good thing in the long run.

    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.

      This site reminds me of the many blogs, websites, wikis, Mindmeister Mind Maps, etc. that overwhelm the viewer with possibilities. It doesn't appear to me that anyone could be an expert on so many technologies or even the landscape of how many exist. I spent a lot of time exploring an extraordinary number of great ideas but inevitably I feel like I can only skim the surface of this information if I want to keep up wih the volume. I'm supposed to be teaching kids how to do close, deep reading. The more I engage in this technology skimming the more I feel like a phony in that particular aspect of my teaching.
