    Interesting timing on this Surface release after our discussions in class. Looks like they finally figured out a better form factor than the coffee table :)

printer emerging technology

    I've heard of 3D printers before. I thought it would be interesting to try out in schools. For example, if students were designing towns to learn volume and surface area. This could help with spatial learning, which is essential to understanding math. I don't know how feasible this it though...

    One of our classmates, Hongge, is really into 3D printers and knows a lot about it. You could check with him what he's done with this technology in the classroom. If we can 'print' human kidneys, the possibilities seem endless...

    Thanks Kasthuri. That looks pretty awesome. I bet kids would be really engaged in classes if they were able to creat their own 3D objects for class projects. I wonder if any schools are using this yet.

    Hi Irina, Yes! Nothing like seeing your ideas take a concrete shape. Looks like the cost of these printers is comparable to that of SmartBoards, so it may be feasible to try them out in classrooms pretty soon. That said, unless the projects are well integrated into the curriculum, they will end up as another fancy toy.

    Harvey and I had a conversation about these last week - Harvey spoke of the way that these printers could open up opportunities for those who can visualize their creations in their heads, but have trouble putting those ideas in tangible form. We spoke of the potential in art and design.

    Articles gets into the details of how the tech is designed. I'm more interested in the implication of touch screens that are flexible and thus potentially made more ubiquitous than we can currently imagine. Like in the Microsoft video, what if every surface we interact with is a digital portal? What implications not only for technology, but all forms of human action and interaction?

    Great video showing Corning's vision for flexible, durable glass applications that can hide electronic components for high quality display on any surface you can imagine.

    That takes care of the display challenge, now if we could only develop a more sophisticated and biologically intuitive method of data entry (no keys or multi-touch surface), the world will be a very different place. Def. an emerging technology with wild educational/training implications.

    This article is a surface treatment but a little refreshing.

      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.
