  • The graduate students are working with local area middle school science teachers to design interactive games that will help children grasp difficult science concepts.
  • "Students can conduct simulated science experiments or engage in team-learning activities in our engineering buildings from anywhere, anytime."
  • The special island is completely isolated and can be accessed only in school with a teacher's permission, not from home.

      open source in life?

  • We hear about RFID tags being integrated into employee ID cards, a new modular sensor grid on the architectural market, a networking scheme proposing to use the body's own electrical field to carry information - and this in the general press, not the specialist journals.

      RFID = radio frequency ID, its those white badges you wave in front of the black pad to get in the door. it is ALSO every box that gets aboard a Wal-Mart truck.
  • t is coming - and as yet, the people who will be most affected by it, the overwhelming majority of whom are nontechnical, nonspecialist, ordinary citizens of the developed world, barely know it even exists.
  • It is coming because something like it effectively became inevitable, the moment each of the tools, products and services we're interested started communicating in ones and zeroes.
  • But the technology we're discussing here - ambient, ubiquitous, insinuative into all the apertures everyday life affords it - will be environment-forming in a way neither of those are.

    This site provides Activity types for various content areas. If you click on each of the active content links you will see that a variety of activitie types are identified as well as types of technology that could be used to facilitate that activity. I found it very interesting and would be helpful for tech coaches or teachers.

    This is a good site, It would be very helpful for a person just getting started to look at their content area and see the types of activities listed (select the content area and then select the activity type link within the page). Each activity listed also has a list of technology that could be used to facilitate that activity.
