  • Seymour Papert once pointed out, just imagine the absurdity of a school that has only two pencils in each classroom. Or imagine a school where all the pencils are locked up in a special room.

      #pencilchat built on/borrowed Papert's use of the pencil as an allegory see http://www.good.is/posts/why-pencilchat-is-the-most-clever-edcuation-allegory-ever/

      Squeak was used to write Scratch. Perhaps the most widely used "introductory" programming language. Find out more about Scratch here http://scratch.mit.edu/

    An interview with a man responsible for most of what you see in personal computers talking about why the computer revolution in schools hasn't happened yet. We may be using this during the Week 2 learning path.

    Yes, Seymour appears to be confirming what the Government has promised over the next year, to put a laptop per student in every classroom.

Concept mapping - which one is more appealing? You choose! - 2 views

  •

5-Year-Olds Can Learn Calculus - Luba Vangelova - The Atlantic - 4 views

  • This is hard to do—it requires both pedagogical and math concept knowledge, but it can be learned

      Empahsis on the importance of PCK which we'll extend to TPACK
  • Droujkova says one of the biggest challenges has been the mindsets of the grown-ups. Parents are tempted to replay their "bad old days" of math instruction with their kids, she says.

      Echoing the impact of past experience with math (and ICTs) that create schema, which then limit vision of what can be.
  • Unfortunately a lot of what little children are offered is simple but hard—primitive ideas that are hard for humans to implement,” because they readily tax the limits of working memory, attention, precision and other cognitive functions
  •  
    Article talking about a different perspective (and examples) of how to teach mathematics. Not directly related to ICTs, but will likely be used in the Week 2 learning path and later to make a number of important points.
  •  
    ''They also miss the essential point-that mathematics is fundamentally about patterns and structures, rather than "little manipulations of numbers,"....'' How true this is! I had to go to uni in order to be exposed to the beauty of numers and maths, learn about Fibonacci and see the world differently! If anyone is interested here is a very nice video about the simplicity and beauty of our world and I am sure that ICT has its place in it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahXIMUkSXX0

  •  
    Journal paper that talks about a particular use of ICT in learning. May be referenced a bit in the week 2 learning path to touch on "why" ICT is used with pedagogy. *Abstract* Slowmation is a twenty-first century digital literacy educational tool. This teaching and learning tool has been incorporated as an assessment strategy in the curriculum area of science and mathematics with pre-service teachers (PSTs). This paper explores two themes: developing twenty-first century digital literacy skills and modelling best practice assessment tools. In the growing debate about the impact of multi-model representations, researchers such as Hoban and Nielsen, and Brown, Murcia and Hackling emphasise the development of conceptual understandings and semiotics. This paper focuses on PSTs' experiences of and reflections on Slowmation as an educational tool. Data was collected from a cohort of final year PSTs who created, presented and reflected on their Slowmation process.
