    A child as young as 9 months can set goals when playing the apps in iphone. More and more parents let children play with their iphones. I-phones, which consist of many interesting apps and colorful designs, are easy to catch children's attention. Easy apps which can help children develop their basic skills (such as counting skills), do have great market and should be developed and improved.

  • Researchers say the lure of these technologies, while it affects adults too, is particularly powerful for young people. The risk, they say, is that developing brains can become more easily habituated than adult brains to constantly switching tasks — and less able to sustain attention.

    The distraction of technology, especially mobile phone and computer, has always been a concern to us. When I was in middle school, few students owned cellphones or laptops. So we have no chance to be immersed in the virtual world. But apparently we couldn't enjoy the benefits of the latest technology either at that time. If I were able to choose, I would definitely choose the colorful school life which is enriched by the various technologies.

    This is not about an emerging educational technology but how two designers re-thinking of teaching. I'm throwing this out here to see if you think one can apply the Scaling Up framework to this initiative. What are some of the impediments that you can imagine and would you have any solutions?

Conrad Wolfram: Teaching kids real math with computers | Video on TED.com - 2 views

  • From rockets to stock markets, many of humanity's most thrilling creations are powered by math. So why do kids lose interest in it? Conrad Wolfram says the part of math we teach -- calculation by hand -- isn't just tedious, it's mostly irrelevant to real mathematics and the real world. He presents his radical idea: teaching kids math through computer programming.
  • Mydhili Bayyapunedi on 15 Nov 10
     
    Very similar to the idea of teaching computer programming via storytelling/animation (Scratch)

    Hey, he stole my idea (about teaching math through teaching computer programming) ! ;-) Thanks for this post.
  • Margaret O'Connell on 16 Nov 10
     
    I just watched this video and it's actually billed INCORRECTLY on that Ted.com description! The guy is *not* saying to teach math through teaching computer programming at'all!! He is simply advocating to use the power of the computer to teach math - i.e. using programs such as Mathematica. His slide says "Computer-based math: critical reform" -- so, he is saying that students should use the computer for the computing (which is for sure true) and teachers should teach with the students using this computing power asap (which I agree with) ... but he is *not* actually saying to teach computer programming ... p.s. This video is sweeping through the math teacher twitter streams and blogs right now (yes, there is such a community out there!) But, in my opinion, his idea is no big leap ...
  • Mydhili Bayyapunedi on 21 Nov 10
     
    Absolutely agree... the idea presented here is no big leap at all, especially to us who are following these advances pretty closely. I saw the parallels with scratch in terms of engaging the learner.

  • RISE has helped 280 communities to open preschool learning centers.
  • A recent study showed that grade 1 students who had attended a preschool learning center, such as Kisongoni, scored higher than their counterparts who did not attend preschool. Further, grade 1 students who listened to IRI programs scored 10 percent higher than students in classrooms that didn’t use IRI.
