  • Students long have complained about teachers with eyes on the backs of their heads. A New York University photography professor is going one further by implanting a camera in the back of his head.
  • The project is being commissioned by a new museum in Qatar. But the work, which would broadcast a live stream of images from the camera to museum visitors, is sparking a debate on campus over the competing values of creative expression and student privacy.

  • "Soon, cursive will only be used for your signature,"
  • The diminishing use of cursive handwriting often is used as a bellwether for the increased influence of technology in education and in society as a whole

    Technology instead of hand writing? ok.
  • Amanda Comperchio on 16 Nov 10
     
    I think handwriting is already a lost art, but I'm sad to see it go. Perhaps teaching handwriting can go by way of the art teachers, and we'll be able to save it in schools as an art form.

  • A new study on the role of transformative technologies in Asian tertiary education reveals the critical technologies being prioritised by campus administrators – as well as why. Surprise findings demonstrate that conventional e-learning systems are being superseded by newer technologies aimed to deliver “pedagogical transformation”.

While students are enjoying the accessibility and convenience online learning provides, online educators firmly stand by their position that online learning should compliment not replace classroom learning

    Article mentions a 10-year $500 million commitment by Microsoft to transform education systems around the world through technology. "The programme will assist teachers, school leaders and students globally on effective ways to use ICT in the classroom environment." But doesn't really give any specifics. Is this money well spent?

  • We already knew that the Kno, a tablet computer designed for college students, would be bigger and heavier than Apple’s iPad. It will also be pricier.
  • “When you do the math, it actually pays for itself and still saves $1,300 in digital textbook costs,” he said.
  • To be sure, the Kno is not just a fancy e-reader. It is also a platform that will allow students to take notes, manage projects and organize their college lives.

Give your keyboard the boot? Microsoft patents foot interface - 1 views

Human Computer Interface technology educational_technology

shared by Garron Hillaire on 11 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • Microsoft's research into a "foot-based user interface" seemed somewhat novel in 2006, when I first wrote about the project. Now that the company has released its Kinect full-body motion control system for the Xbox 360, the idea of controlling a machine with your feet seems like only part of the picture.
  • Despite the fact that it seems outdated, or at least partial, the patent actually could be a notable win as the Redmond company expands the concept of motion-based interfaces beyond its video-game console into more general-purpose computing.
  • Garron Hillaire on 11 Nov 10
     
    This could be used as an alternate means of interacting with computers. From an educational standpoint this does not appear to be dated, but rather creating opportunities for people with limited means of motion.
