  • Instead of simply putting their research on how to foster imagination, creativity, and conceptual thinking into a report, King and Fouts decided to create a free, easy-to-use web portal that's full of the ideas and solutions that they've found work best. Interestingly, instead of the model of individual success and standardized test taking that currently exists in schools, the education approaches they've found best foster imagination also teach kids to collaborate to solve problems.

    I like the idea behind the project, as well as the portal-style organization. fun to take a look at some of these.

    "Global Social Problems" course where students are asked to take on the role of a superhero and save the world through research, hands-on work on a local social issue, and imagining a solution to a broader social problem.

    Doesn't look like a massively-open online course, but makes me think about setting up one of our own. I love how all of this (assignments, discussion, etc...) is completely exposed. With a course like this, I don't see the need for an LMS.

    I don't care if you agree with the science, this represents the first real interactive text designed for iOS that I have seen.  I can't even imagine how much this thing cost to make, but it looks really stunning.  But at 4.99 it seems like a mind bending opportunity to learn about interaction design.

    Send them a book and for 1 dollar (per 100 pages) they will convert it to an OCRed PDF for you.

    I'd like to try this. What book shall we send?

    Imagine sending in your personal handwritten notebook. As for a "real" book to send, I have no idea. I do have a copy of "Perfect Phrases For Documenting Employee Performance Problems" lying around. What about content for the next go of ci597 on disruptive tech?

    I read this yesterday and was sort of blown away by the idea. Given the drama I've watched here in our school district over buying iPads for students I can't imagine seeing something so bold. I do think it is a great idea.
