    Karen Cator, director of education technology with the U.S. Department of Education touts keystroke-sensitive algorithms are capable of guiding students for learning, accessible to teachers, parents and the students. "Education technology, as in the gaming world, has the ability to assess performance every step of the way, comparing students to classmates across schools, districts, states and the world, with immediate feedback and direction. No final exam necessary."

2013-2018 Tech Outlook for STEM education - 3 views

  •  
    "Twelve emerging technologies are identified across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years, as well as key trends and challenges expected to continue over the same period, giving educators, administrators, and policymakers a valuable guide for strategic technology planning across STEM+ education. The addition of the "+" in the acronym incorporates communication and digital media technologies in the traditional four areas of study." Curious what others will think about these predictions.

    • Jennifer Hern
       
      Recent technological advances in the classroom like using interactive whiteboards are fantastic, but little training is provided for teachers on how to use them (or at least in my experience). Knowing the technology and how to use them is the missing link in a lot of classrooms.

Touchable Gadgets Win Over Users - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • touching screens has seeped into people’s day-to-day existence more quickly and completely than other technological behaviors because it is so natural, intimate and intuitive.
  • natural user interface uses ingrained human movements that do not have to be learned.

    Interesting article on why touch screens are dominating in new technologies--and the basis for why they're more attractive to us.

Should Colleges Encourage Better Tech/Life Balance? - Tech Therapy - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 0 views

  •  
    Naomi S. Baron, a linguistics professor at American University, studies how cell phones and online messaging change social interactions. She talks to the Tech Therapy team about her concern that colleges push too much technology on students and professors. Should colleges encourage e-mail-free Fridays?
  •  
    Interesting to think about technology saturation is impacting college students. Some college professors are even resisting technology integration in the classroom because of it - if you're interested in Higher Ed, the Chronicle of Higher Education has many interesting articles about technology in university settings.

'Chalk and Talk' Colleges Are Challenged by India's Company Classrooms - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 0 views

  • The most high-tech classrooms in India are not at a university but at a technology company's training facility.
  • To make up for those perceived deficiencies, Indian companies spent more than $1-billion last year on corporate-training programs for new employees, according to an industry group that has been pushing for change at universities.
  • Each classroom bears the name of a famous innovator—Archimedes, J.P. Morgan, Steve Jobs. In a morning class in the Benjamin Franklin classroom, I observed about 100 students learning the Unix programming language. Each seat had its own PC, and most students had opened a copy of the instructor's PowerPoint presentation and followed along on their own screen, sometimes scrolling back to see what they had missed, sometimes looking ahead.

  • The trainees, called "freshers" because they are fresh out of college,
  • The trainees said that their undergraduate teaching had been delivered mostly in chalk-and-talk form, with the professor lecturing at the front of the classroom. A few professors had tried PowerPoint, they said, but even that was unusual.
  • "More technology would have meant a lot more knowledge."
  • It turns out, how wired the classrooms are is not the point—the style of teaching is much slower to change than the gear in the rooms.
  •  
    Indian college classrooms have not integrated technology into learning and teaching, so private companies - teaching the skills needed to perform in their specific career paths - are taking the lead, showing that universities need to catch up.

Emerged technologies for education - 0 views

  •  
    Here is an entertaining talk about how everyday objects can be used for science education. We are all aware / starting to better appreciate that "it definitely ain't about the technology", but what conceptual understanding the technology can effect. Personally, I see two advantages of such low cost technologies: 1. They increase access to interesting learning materials for all - quickly. 2. They can serve as the kernels of ideas for influencing emerging technologies. ( Like in out class discussion : models are still expensive but they can guide / inspie Do share your thoughts.

Technology in Schools Faces Questions on Value - NYTimes.com - 1 views

    • Chris McEnroe
       
      As journalism, this article observes well the cross conversation in the public debate. Before this conversation even begins it would be useful for the parties to agree on the goal of the interaction between teacher and student. This quote from the article, "digital devices let students learn at their own pace, teach skills needed in a modern economy and hold the attention of a generation weaned on gadgets . . ." Makes broad assumptions that the invitation to learn (things that are pre-conceived by adults) is all the students need. We have a system of education and no matter what we do, the system assumes s significant and active role for adults (rightly so). There is a persistant sense that the system is not working to our expectations, but that hardly argues for the abandonment of personal and substantive interactions among teachers and students. I agree more with this quote, ""Rather than being a cure-all or silver bullet, one-to-one laptop programs may simply amplify what's already occurring - for better or worse (Bryan Goodwin)," because it asserts the point that Technology promises to enhance the value of our effort in education with better tools to do what teachers do. Technology is not (as some seem to think) a replacement of what teachers do and that unspoken assumption seems to be underlying much of what I see as vague public discussion.

Extension of Airplay in iOS5 to advance iPad use in schools - 2 views

  •  
    I am wondering if the current financial state of most schools can support where this technology is going. Are we doing learning a DISSERVICE by expecting them to upgrade their technology infrastructure at the pace that technology changes?
  •  
    I agree wholeheartedly with you. I think there is this notion that somehow technology is the answer to solving our fundamental problems with education. I love technology as much as anyone else but I despair at schools falling over each other to give their students iPads. Quote from the article - "Think of four or five students struggling with the same math problem. The teacher can pull out her iPad on the fly and sketch a diagram for everyone in the room to see". Does the teacher need an iPad to do that? What is wrong with the blackboard? On the other hand, if you tell me that another student who has found a novel way to solve the problem can project her solution for others to see and learn, I can see some value.

DIY-Virtual Reality...prob. not in Walmart anytime soon - 1 views

  • Epcot on Wednesday opened a new attraction called "Sum of All Thrills," which lets kids use computer tablets to design a virtual roller coaster, bobsled track or plane ride. After inputting their designs, kids climb into a robotic carriage that uses virtual-reality technology to help them experience the ride they've created.
  • in the world of amusement parks and museums. Taking cues from the video game industry, park and ride designers have realized that people -- especially young ones -- want to interact with and even design their own thrill rides
  •  
    Newest Disney attraction called - Sum of All Thrills where kids get to design their own virtual roller coaster. It uses virtual-reality technology. "Disney hopes the interactive nature of the ride would also help kids learn that math and science can be fun."
  •  
    While I would not consider this incredibly expensive ride a 'distruptive innovation' or even an emerging ed technology, what Epcot has done by bringing this DIY-VR concept to the masses (if you are one of the masses that can A- afford Disney and B-have the patience to wait in line for `5-6 hours) is very important to future ed tech innovation strategies. The progression/invention of such cost prohibitive entertainment tools will fall squarely on the high-end theme parks and consumer venues. The challenge has been set by Epcot and now others must either compete directly or develop a better or more accessible solution. Off the top of my head, I can think of a few cost saving innovations that might be developed in this 'race'- Artificial G-Force Engline: variable air pressure, smart-chairs, fans
