Does Your Language Shape How You Think? - NYTimes.com - 1 views

      Old ideas about language affecting thinking have been discredited, but more recent research has revived the idea, with important differences.

      It's not that features of our language prevent or allow certain kinds of thinking; it's that they "oblige" us to consider some things and not others, thereby causing us to develop certain "habits" in how we think.

      Compare different language requirements of making a simple statement ("I had dinner with a neighbor last night"): in French you have to reveal the gender of the neighbor, but in English  you don't; in English you have to reveal when the dinner happened; not so in Chinese.

      Research shows that when languages have different genders for the same objects, speakers of those language think differently about those same objects -- and this can affect their ability to remember those objects. (no reference?)

      How would the habits of mind of a speaker of a geographic-based language be manifest in the way that person learns/remembers/teaches? How do speakers of egocentric languages learn/teach/remember differently?

      Language even affects our perception and experience of color: "Our experience of a Chagall painting actually depends to some extent on whether our language has a word for blue."

      Does an avid user of social media, who makes subtle distinctions among different ways to post something (comment, like, message, poke, etc.), have different habits of mind that affect how he/she relates to other people and/or incoming information?

      Area for potential study?: how to measure the ways habits of mind affect our intuitive/emotional/impulse behavior.
    • Eric Kattwinkel

      Very intesting article about how our language affects the way we think. People who speak different languages adopt different "habits of mind" from an early age, and those habits can affect they way they experience the world. Especially fascinating is the discussion (2/3 of the way down) of languages that use a geographical, rather than egotistical, method for describing direction and relative position. (For example, the cup is resting on the north side of the west table in the southern room of the house.) How would a person with this type of view of the world experience a virtual environment? Also interesting implications for kids growing up with social media. Do new technologies impart habits of mind that affect the way kids learn?

    I actually love this idea; it makes the president as an authority figure somewhat more accessible to kids and as long as his message sticks to the importance of school, I think it will be beneficial, especially to minorities. I can't remember the president ever addressing me directly as a student! Guess I was a little young to remember the first Bush's address..

    Obama will address students in their classrooms via TV broadcast on the first day of school; controversy is naturally sparked.

    My neighbors, who spent the last 2-3 years teaching in Japan, introduced me to this site. They have online tutorials and games based on some 15 years of research into the most efficient ways to acquire knowledge. http://smart.fm/about/learning_science talks about their research; noteworthy is the "Ebbinghaus forgetting curve," which basically shows that the best way to remember something is to remember it just before you're about to forget it. Check out their "BrainSpeed" game. Much more fun than flash cards.

  • Blackboard's interface for discussion boards is very clunky -- it isn't at all visually appealing, doesn't group topics, doesn't have tags, doesn't provide a good search facility and doesn't support formatting
  • "I really like the visual layout, with a timeline of post summaries on the left, and the post itself on the right, with annotations about responses, statistics, poster, etc. Being able to tag posts is very helpful. It's easy to get all of the posts on a particular topic or associated with a particular assignment."

    In light of our recent Blackboard Collaborate class during Sandy, I got curious as to what other good online delivery platforms are out there. I am preparing to teach the MIT App Inventor curriculum to some high school girls on the other side of the world and am wondering if maybe there's a better alternative to Skype. I came across Piazza, which is free and seems to be gaining traction in higher ed. I also once took an online course with Kaplan and really liked their interface, but don't remember what it was and now it seems they are moving toward a platform called "KapX." If anyone can recommend additional platforms, please let me know.

    Building on Maria's link from GeekWire, here is another article about a bubble forming in ed tech...and building on Jason's comment about not wanting to investmenting in ed tech, it seems like a lot of wealthy people aren't worried about it! This article goes into the numbers a little more on trying to show the bubble effect, such as the number of investment rounds and startups. It also talks a bit about Christensen's "innovator" profile and how a lot of the ed tech folks now are mission-driven people who are innovating like Christensen describes. Not sure if what they are doing will work, but trying because they are passionate about it
  • Jeffrey Siegel on 31 Oct 12
     
    Can Ed tech start-ups be classified into those driven by a desire to improve education and children's lives or those simply seeking to make a lot of money? Or are motives and intentions always impossible to judge and inextricable from behavior.
  • Tomoko Matsukawa on 03 Nov 12
     
    Thanks for sharing. I liked the last message of this article. "But as long as we remember that it takes both the tool and the teacher to create success, the mission-driven innovators will outnumber the market-driven copycats. And innovation will outshine the bubbles.". EdSurge is one of my favorite source too. One of my former client at Hedge Fund in HK messaged me earlier this month ''btw u might be spot on on this education stuff. this should offer a sizable business opportunity in coming years u should go grab some" - def. he is one of those guys out there who might contribute to the bubble in the future...

    Looks like there is some funding available to scientifically evaluate MOOCs for remedial education! I think the results will be interesting to see, since I remember from discussion or a reading that some ed tech seems to work for autism and special needs students...so maybe MOOCs also have a niche.

    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.
  • Allison Browne on 22 Dec 11
     
    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?
  • Kasthuri Gopalaratnam on 22 Dec 11
     
    I agree overall about 2011 being an inflection point, but I also remember that IBM 360 and TV were supposed to revolutionalize education too.

    This is a new interface for taking notes -- what are the implications for studying and for content mastery?
  • Jennifer Hern on 10 Sep 09
     
    Hey Prof! Funny you tagged this article. I was just searching for advanced note-taking software and was having a difficult time finding anything that would resemble my handwritten notes. Also, I came across a similar device that is described in your article today at my internship at Soup2Nuts. Since all of the animators/artists use Flash to create the cartoons, they have something similar to this "magical pen". However, they need to use a specific type of tracking pad to draw. The idea of applying this same technology to any piece of paper is a useful idea (if you are one of those people who remember to bring paper and pads to class).

      I tend to agree with the author, though I would be interested in seeing evidence to support his claims. I remember playing the classic horror survival game "Alone in the Dark" (from 1992) The graphics were fairly primitive by today's standards, the controls could be clunky, but I felt more immersed in the experience, even upon replaying years later. By contrast, I played through first-person shooter and survival horror game F.E.A.R. recently. The graphics are very realistic and the controls are smooth, but something was missing that kept it from being an immersive experience for me. People who haven't played the original "Alone in the Dark" may recognize more with games like "Resident Evil" in comparison with "Half Life".

    This is an opinion article that talks about immersion and the first-person camera angle in video games. He argues that game developers should re-evaluate the assumption that the first-person viewpoint is inherently more immersive than other gaming experiences.
