The future of mobile CPUs, part 1: Today's fork in the road | Ars Technica - 0 views

  • In this grand progression, 2013 will certainly be a significant milestone for mobile devices, smartphones and beyond. It's likely to be the first year in which tablets out-ship notebooks in the US. And in the coming years, this will lead to a confluence of high-end tablets and ultra-mobile notebooks as the world figures out how these devices co-exist, blend, hybridize, and/or merge.

MOOC meltdown: Coursera course on fundamentals of online education ends in disaster. - 1 views

  •  
    I am a proponent of pushing the envelop in education and the idea of MOOCs as conceived of by George Seimens and Stephen Downs. And still we need to talk about the disasters and learn from them. Whenever we try a new recipe, there is always a chance that we won't be eating in that night.

  • "This is my eleven year-old," he said, "who, on one machine, is playing Minecraft and, on the other machine, is watching videos on how to play Minecraft." This is how our students are learning. They are teaching each other and they are learning from the Web.
  • Casap pulled his own phone from his pocket. "What you have in your hand is going to be their Commodore 64. It's going to be their Apple IIe. When they're in their twenties, it's going to be the thing they buy at a thrift store and put on a shelf in their hipster apartment just because it's cool to have one." That's the generation, he said, that's coming into our schools, and we need to be ready for that.
  • "Learning doesn't happen Monday through Friday, from this time to that time," he said. "This generation of kids are growing up consistently learning all the time."

      This indicates a need for teachers to have a better understanding of what can be done with mobile devices.
  • Despite all the bring-your-own device buzz over the last few years, meanwhile, teachers were chillier to handhelds (smartphones and iPod touches—the devices students tend to bring to school) than other tools. While the percentage of teachers with access to such devices went up to 36 percent, from 26 percent a year ago, the tools were rated below other devices (sixth out of a list of eight, even below projectors) on "potential to enhance education."
  • In general, the survey says, teachers view technology as a "teaching tool used by teachers" rather than an "administrative tool" or a "self-learning tool used by students."

      This indicates the need to alter teachers' perception of how to engage students with technology. It's ironic that some teachers can make that connection for themselves without linking it to their students' learning experience.
