  • Yesterday on Twitter I asked for false Geometry statements for which it's easy to draw a counterexample. Twitter is brilliant for this - everybody can come up with a-couple-a-three no problem, but it would be a pain to sit and think of a dozen. And even when you did, they might not be the best dozen for your purposes. After waiting a day, I got to pick from lots.

    Following up on the discussion we had in class today, do you think we are focusing too much of our attention on teacher training? If students have the ability to not only understand a certain technology but can also use that technology to self train, isn't the role of the teacher in that respect, highly reduced? Perhaps its easier and would prove fruitful if we redirected our strengths to developing software and devices that are intuitive and help children learn rather than spending the resources on helping a different generation of learners (i.e., the teachers) understand this technology? Also, if you think about it, we are probably only one generation away from the teachers who see the value of technology in teaching. This ideal generation is of course the current students who are using technology and find it extremely helpful. They wouldn't need any convincing or training to use technology in their classroom

    There could be some real potential here for use of grants beyond the television screen. I'd be interested to track how this money is allocated across platforms, especially emerging ones like apps for phones/iPads.

    It's interesting ... I don't like its view of hackers as all bad, however ... I like to think that more and more people will be hacking/programming and it won't be for bad intentions but, rather, for customizations -- software, hardware, and not necessarily full computers ...

  • John Stivoric, chief technology officer, says the company has been working closely with Apple and Google, to develop its smartphone application. It opens the door to allowing a person to monitor a collection of the 9,000 variables — physical activity, calories burned, body heat, sleep efficiency and others — collected by the sensors in a BodyMedia armband in real-time, as the day goes on.
  • The smartphone, though, is full-fledged computer in hand. “It’s a dashboard for the human body, a great viewer into what your body is doing on the fly,”

  • The demand for e-Learning resources derived from the economic burden imposed by the frequent revision of textbooks and spiralling prices of scholastic texts, according to the Textbook and e-Learning Resources Development Report released by the Working Group on Textbooks & e-Learning Resources Development in 2009.
  • In February 2010, a fund of HK$128 million was established by the Legislative Council to create a three-year program promoting an e-Learning pilot scheme. Of that total HK$68 million will be disbursed among 20 primary schools and 30 secondary schools for e-Learning.
