  • NeuroPhones promise, by obviating the need for conscious human agency in the processing and transmission of updates, to bring us much closer to fulfilling the true realtime ideal, opening up enormous new opportunities not only in "human behavior modeling" but also in marketing.

    NeuroPhones are really scary. True realtime? What will the not so distant future bring?

  • Implementation is essential, especially when one understands that educational technology is about affecting particular outcomes.
  • Certainly, these objects have demonstrable value; however, techniques and processes in teaching and learning are at least equally important
  • use of appropriate tools
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • human capabilities are not wholly adequate to the demands of the modern teaching and learning enterprise, and this is where technology as facilitator has a role
  • Demonstrations, illustrations, instruction across learning styles
  • If no improvements are made with the adoption of new technology, then there is no point to utilizing any technology except for the most basic required to obtain that unchanging level of learning
  • need to assess our outcomes, make incremental changes in our methodologies to address shortcomings, then assess again

    The author's top 5 keys to successful education technology... do you agree? Is it missing anything?
  • quintintanderson on 21 Sep 10
     
    One of the more powerful messages I have learned in Stone's class is when you are designing an educational intervention you have to know WHEN to ask the question: what technology, if any, will improve our educational problem? Before you ask this question, the problem should be clearly identified, and the steps to assess if the problem is improving should be laid out. When you have this information, you can then tailor the technology to specifically meet the needs of your current problem. In this way, technology is sort of the means (not the ends!) towards improving education. So, in addition to the author's 5 key factors for educational technology, I would like to add: Is the technology a good fit for addressing our clearly defined educational problem?

ARM Chips May Spread Into Everyday Items - NYTimes.com - 3 views

ARM Internet_of_Things hardware

shared by Margaret O'Connell on 21 Sep 10 - No Cached
  • This is the so-called Internet of Things, when all sorts of everyday objects will have tiny chips placed inside them and gain the ability to process information and talk to the Web.
  • ARM chips, by contrast, are made by a handful of contract chip manufacturers and cost 65 cents to $20 each.
  • ARM executives agree that the future is with the billions of coming things — cars, refrigerators, TVs, clothes, buildings — that will have full-blown chips or at least Web-ready sensors inside them. In many cases, they say, these things will need the lowest-power chips possible because they will be out in the world and away from a plug. Energy has replaced horsepower as the prime concern, and it is here, ARM executives said, that the company’s skills will really shine.

    I especially love the last quote of this interesting article: "... Now, it's all about penetrating these weird markets that we can't even fully fathom yet." Maybe the ARM chip will be behind a disruptive innovation - it's fun to think about the possibilities

    We have a reading on "ubiquitous computing" later in the semester that gets into these fascinating issues and how they might affect education.

Brainscape: Learn Faster - Research - 2 views

  • Confidence-Based Repetition These combined concepts of Repetition, Active Recall, and Metacognition work together to create Brainscape’s unique process of Confidence-Based Repetition (CBR). CBR acts essentially as your personalized knowledge stream, where bite-sized concepts are repeated one after another, in Question/Answer pairs, and then re-entered into the repetition queue in intervals based on your confidence in how well you know them. Low-confidence items (e.g. the 1’s and 2’s) are repeated more often until you upgrade your confidence to higher levels.

      "Confidence-based repitition" looks like the direct application of current thinking in neuroscience about how we learn.   I wonder how well it really works?  It's theory based but not truly field tested.....Not quite iterative research-design-field test-tweak loop Dock's Design course prescribes.

    Interesting startup.  Building a learning tool based on the neuroscience concept of "confidence-based repetition."

Wiki Authorship Class Teachers Dive In Digital

shared by Sammi Biegler on 07 Oct 09 - Cached

    I made this wiki for a class I took last semester on Authorship and Learning in the Digital Age. It was designed as a resource for teachers who are interested in using the internet in the classroom, but want to make sure they are preparing their students for safe internet use. It deals with COPPA, privacy and safety concerns, and touches on media literacy and informs teachers what researchers have found about young kids' processing of online content. I'd love to hear your feedback on the site, and if you find it useful, please forward the link along!

    Interesting, real-time, questions about the topics we are covering in T561. Illuminates some of the key pieces (and challenges there within) of the scaling process... "Wissahickon School District (WSD) board members are divided on how to meet educational technology goals that bridge the "digital divide" and foster 21st Century Learning skills for students. A "1:1" plan presented to board members calls for giving every secondary student a computer to bridge the digital divide for students who do not have a computer, and enhance learning for all."
