this website is the pros of ipads with business people who travel often

this website it basically talking about the ipad being adopted in schools

"Every day seems to offer another story about a district or school that's buying iPads." This article explains the various uses of iPads in the classroom and how many schools have adopted them. It is important to gesture based computing because it gives yet another example of how gesture technology is invading the classroom.

iPads in smaller schools instead of colleges and how they can be used in the classroom

Learning Catalytics supports peer-to-peer instruction, and provides real-time feedback during class.

Harvard University has developed Learning Catalytics, which support peer-to-peer instruction, and provides feedback to the students during class.

Talks about learning how to put groups together and almost about cloud computing somewhat.  This is about learning analytics too, I guess.

This is a great article for gesture based computing. It talks about the development of gesture based technology throughout the years, giving examples of its progression with different companies.

Yeah, it gives examples of its progression with different companies.

Why laptops are helpful, but why tablets are better

Very useful

@Christian - it would be useful to say how it is useful - you should paraphrase or pull out points or you will have to re-look at the information to write on the wiki. Good link.

On Body Interaction: Armed and Dangerous. Gesture based computing demonstrated

this is not about gesture based computing, it is on about how choices can help students learn better

Yeah realt

this article is about how gesture based computing is integrated into learning environments and how old beliefs are changing.

Software system created to collaborate and interact with others and computers.

This is a winner in the digital media badges for lifelong learning competition. "In the Youth APPLab, middle and high school students in the District of Columbia design software and mobile apps in an after-school program that supplements their formal learning in computer science. They conceive, develop and co-create their own Android Apps. Ultimately, students and their apps will compete for internships with technology-based startup companies in and around the DC area."

Important video for gesture based students to view. This is about the evolution of input into the computer. Pranav Mistry is the inventor.

Learning analytics and personalization only begins with technology for "drill and kill" but certainly that is one place we should always use it, like this student learning spelling words. Article from scholastic about Read 180. "But while this student practiced his words, the most powerful stuff was happening behind the scenes. Out of eyesight. With every keystroke, the technology gathered data on his spelling fluency. It calculated how fast he was at spelling each word. It remembered what he got right and got wrong, and knew exactly how many times it had to re-ask the same word before the student really knew it. Every bit of data it collected would update and add to the student's personal learning profile - a collection of data the teacher could look up at any time to track progress and glean insights on the student's accomplishments and struggles, and that the computer could interpret and display for the student in ways that empowered him and showed him how successful he had been.

The horizon report is out and will be the subject of our NetGenEd Project this year. Current trends: Time to adoption: One Year or Less * Electronic Books * Mobiles Time to adoption: Two to Three Years * Augmented Reality * Game-based Learning Time to adoption: Four to Five Years * Gesture-based Computing * Learning Analytics

I know that some are saying that we can't gamify education. But what happens when problems become a game and we compete to find answers? This article talks about foldit and how crowdsourcing has become a possibility for something that can work when it becomes a game. This is a great read for those exploring how we will use games in education. I would suggest that this is an approach that we could use. ". Foldit, a novel experiment created by a group of scientists and game designers at the University of Washington, had asked the gamers-some still in middle school and few boasting a background in the sciences, much less microbiology-to determine the how proteins would fold in the enzyme. Within hours, thousands of people were both competing against (and collaborating with) one another. After three weeks, they had succeeded where the microbiologists and the computers had failed. "This is the first example I know of game players solving a long-standing scientific problem," David Baker, a Foldit co-creator, wrote at the time."

this would be great for ed. because you can build many objects with out having the real object there to mess with.  

This explains how gesture-based computing works.
