We brought in Bootstrap to teach computer programming to elementary students in the after-school and summer programs run by my community school. Would be interested in comparing their approach with Scratch's
Would like to know how many teachers are using these tools, especially with populations that could benefit from them most (learning differences, ESOL, etc)
In a few years, when we all own 3D printers and can download and print any number of objects (including 20,000 year old fossils), what will the implications be for teaching and learning when we can present our students and our teachers with the physical manifestations of things we've traditionally learned and taught about only in the abstract through textbooks or videos?
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?
My friend helped co-found Bare Conductive, which developed a conductive ink that can be used for a wide variety of purposes and projects, many of them educational in nature
