  • I am also still struggling with thinking of certain technologies that can be used to help us recognize patterns. I think that many tools are available that do aid the process, but is there a possibility for something to be developed that exclusively applied to this idea. Something that can be used just for the purpose of recognizing and organizing these patterns and experiences. I wonder if we could better track how we remember things, the connections we make in our brains, or how we mentally store information, if that would make us more aware of what we learn, how we learn, and how we can learn better. I know this seems like a slightly crazy though, but I like to dream.

      I think this could be an exciting area for "augmented reality" applications in the future. I'm also intrigued by data visualization applications (from basic tools like word cloud generators to advanced factor analysis software).  ManyEyes has some cool experimental tools that are fun to play with.  Check it out: http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/
  • I truly enjoyed reading "On Intelligence" these past couple of weeks and even filled out the survey. I think it's a something that has more unique ideas than just theories/theorists, tools, technology, etc. I can see myself continuing reading this book outside of class because it really is interesting and is written in a way that's easily understandable. I'm happy that we got the opportunity to read this and take a break from all of the articles. :P

      Glad you liked it!  I hope you do finish the rest of the book. I think the later chapters that get into possibilities for artificial intelligence are really fascinating.
  • I know that we've talked about UDL all throughout LRND courses, but I feel as if this is an important and relevant topic that could almost be it's own course. Learning how to properly evaluate needs of students, selecting proper tools, and creating a UDL friendly module would be a great experience for LRND students.
